Mapping the Garden....is this fun or what!

This morning I got up needing to feel spring like thoughts.  So I decided to start mapping my garden.  It is important to keep records of where you plant things in the garden.  This helps plan placement for the next year.  
It is best to do your home work so that you don't plant things too close or in the wrong place.  For instance.  Tomatoes should not be planted in the same place 2 years in a row....cabbage family plants also need to be rotated.  

A good plan can also let you see if you have room for extra plants or room to try new things!
It also takes a lot of stress out of the crazy days of planting.  Once it is time to plant you will spend less time wondering where things go and more time enjoying digging in the dirt.  It will also help you put any helpers to work in the right place!
