Growmore, talking of the digicam, if you get one of those cheapo mini-tripods, lash it onto a longish cane and screw your cam to it, then hold it up in the air you can get a sort of aerial view of the whole plot in one pic, using the shutter delay. Might need a few shots before you get an acceptable one but it does work. ;D

What i have done is create a scale drawing of my plot and trying to work out where things should go.

Main problem is that i want to grow too much and dont have the room for all of it.  ;)

 ;DI know what that feels like!

When I cleared my plot this year, I thought I had LOADS of empty space, plenty of room for everything I thought.....except now it's all laid out and ready to go, I realise I can only squeeze in a few rows of maincrop potatoes, I'll have to grow my squash with the sweetcorn as there will be no separate room, and I don't know where I can fit in the melons and watermelons I wanted to grow!....it's a great problem to have though, I can't wait to get going.... ;D

I'm planning to take a photo a week to add to my new posh gardening journal (mentioned on Christmas present thread, brilliant present) that I'm going to use for recording rotation plans and future crops, at the moment it's all on bits of A4 paper....and has been revised many. many times!

I have already been warned by the powers that be, no more expansion  ;)

Um....End of August 2006


As you can see it has been expanded on a number of occasions, but that is it, no more........although i can plant some fruit bushes and trees around different areas of the garden.

Its fun this gardening.

Here's an idea i had to plan the veggie plot.

Easy to setup using Excel.

Hi everyone!

What i did, was to adjust the size of the cells so they are quite small.

This allows you to change the location of each veg and makes it easy to colour code the plots.
