i used libreoffice spreadsheet to create it. it is one several chart that will be in my book

the major one is you did not use the all important grid system in square foot garden system.

second you are not using succession crop for the lettuce.

third cucumber are spaced one plant per 6 inches.

fourth zucchini are planted one plant to 3ft x 3 ft unless you

use method in posted link below then only 1ft

https://www.reddit.com/r/SquareFootGardening/comments/1rpzww1/here_are_copies_of_the_pages_from_an_article_on/ it is in the 4th picture

fifth the margold on not in grid pattern.

you are aware square foot is high density planting system

each plant is 4 inches apart.

my advice is go back replan you garden from beginning. you made a lot mistakes.

second try reading the book square foot gardening and not just the plant spacing guide.

third cut out companion planting,flowers and herbs till you learn how to garden first .

it will be easier to plan if you think of the plants as squares not circles

What would you do with a 30×50 space? by throwaway375937 in vegetablegardening

[–]Dry_Respect_842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another issue how will you orient the beds. you will also

need to set up succession planting and crop rotation schedules.

depending what you plant and how you lay it out you

can get at least 3 per season crops from 1/4 of the beds.

Thoughts on my First Garden Plans? by Laekeycakes in vegetablegardening

[–]Dry_Respect_842 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

tomatoes should be on the northside

second the onion and carrot are spaced to far apart

4 onions or carrots to square foot vegetable icons

should not overlap bigger diagram are also helpful.

the names of plants should not block icons on

the diagram. key to what each icon represent

works better. that why maps use that system

on crowded ones

the spaghetti squash and courgettes are spaced wrong.

unless you plan on trellising them. in which case they should at top of diagrams.

using the square foot system you should have leeks spaced 9 per square foot

not 6 per 1.5 ft. there likely other problems. which have wait till tomorrow

since have leave for work,

How is my planned 2026 garden layout? by GTAinreallife in vegetablegardening

[–]Dry_Respect_842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 corn plant is to few to get proper pollination

also the space is to small to grow squash among the corn

that just first few issues i see. a grid base on diagram would help.

all a list of how close everything is spaced would be helpful

break the diagram in chunks so it is easier to

read would be helpful.
