My 2009 Garden Plan

I have completed my 2009 Garden plan and have placed my seed order (next post). I've discovered this site called GrowVeg.com that has a flash tool which lets you build your garden plan. It's pretty neat. It creates a great looking plan with minimal effort. Check out my plan. It is not yet 100% complete, but it is a good start:

GrowVeg will plot your planting and harvesting times in a chart, and also assists with crop rotation (a feature I have not used as of yet). It is an impressive tool and I quickly purchased a one year subscription. I'll try to keep using it throughout the year.

The only problem is that this tool is currently limited on features. For example you cannot share your garden plan or export it. I created the graphic above by saving a screenshot of my garden plan in the tool. I would also like to be able to re-name the plants (for example, instead of just generic tomatoes, I would like to label them as 'Roma Tomatoes' etc). I would also like to be able to resize the vegetables themselves so they will fit better in my square food garden layout. But the developers are working on a new version so hopefully some of these features are on the way.
