GARDEN PLANNING in 5 Simple Steps: Growing in the Garden



Garden planning helps you make the most of the available space and sunlight in your garden. Each new season in the garden can seem overwhelming. Knowing what to plant, when to plant, and where to plant is a juggling act for even experienced gardeners. Taking the time to make a plan will help you be successful.

When you plan ahead, you can prioritize space for the plantings you want to be most successful. Planting crops in the best location and at the right time gives them the best chance for producing well. Rather than buying seeds and plants you don’t need, when you plan your garden in advance you know exactly what you need.

  1. Easy to only buy what you need? What sorcery is that? Lol 😆 seed shopping and gardening are DEFINITELY 2 different hobbies!!!! And i enjoy both

  2. Do you have a video on how to calculate the amount of sun each area gets without having to sit out there and time during every season

  3. I love how thoughtfully you go about planning your garden. I am more of a messy experimenter. But I enjoy that as well, it's the journey and the experience that I am going for. Some day I will get much more organized. #goals!

  4. Yes that was what i am looking for! 😁👋 Thanks for sharing 🤟👌S👀 you on the next one ~!~ 🙏👉👍👍💯Much love💝171

  5. How do you know what full sun really means in a zone 10 (inland San Diego) south facing garden? It seems crazy that some vegetables can really take that much heat? I can add shade cloth in the back garden but not in the front, so I really don't know what can take the full summer heat or if it's all just going to fry. Any advice?

  6. I love planting the seeds and watching for the babies to sprout. Then I have two or three plants that I have to find a place for…I only needed one. So I'm already behind in space.Then I plant my next round of seeds and new babies come up. Have to get more containers and more dirt so that means a trip to the store. So I draw out my plans, do all my planning on what to plant, but wind up with more plants than I planned for. Uh oh, no room. So I start a new spot to put a container and…… By the way< I am a container gardener only as I have a small space. Do you give advise for this addiction? I can't kill the babies I've watched grow by thinning. I always plant them. Now I have no room for what I had in my planning. What do I do?

  7. Sorry to hijack the comments but this is important. If you are planning to buy seeds anyway, Baker Seeds is donating 100% of seed sales this weekend to deliver emergency assistance to the people of Ukraine. The owners family was forced to flee their farm in the early 20th century due to Soviet aggression in Ukraine. His father was just a boy when they left Ukraine and settled in the US. Thank you.

  8. My family and I love your videos. We live in Tonopah Arizona and find your videos very helpful. What do you use on your computer to graph up your garden?

  9. These are some great recommendations I just struggled greatly planting over 200 seeds and not knowing where I was going to plant what. This is my first time planting that many seeds in a square foot garden so by the end I was overwhelmed. Thanks a lot for the tips 😉

  10. As a farmer with good knowledge,I enjoyed every aspect of the presentation,it was quite informative.

  11. Hi Angela, I am planning my first raise beds here in Glendale AZ. Looking at your diagram it looks like your beds are pointing north to south. Is that recommended? Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are my gardening hero.

  12. I'm going to try the 3 sister's method, indigenous people use plant corn, 2 weeks later, beans, then squash!
    So many ways to plant as well I'm using African planting method ,in circles, with swales. I decided to use more than one method!
    Which works better ?
    Researching options and opportunities as well!!
    TFS!

  13. Thank you for the information <3, I have a question, do we need to remove eaten crop leaves?

  14. I just read the comments below. Nice to know our gardening community is global in its concern. Thank you for this informative post on planning. Really helps me as this year is a new garden in a new state.

  15. What a beautiful seed inventory! Do you have any resources on how to create something like that? Very impressive.

  16. I want to grow some pumpkins and watermelons this year. My raised beds will not have enough room for them. Can I just dig a large hole in the ground, add amendments and good soil and plant. Is ok if all the growth goes over hard ground.

  17. My garden plan is simpler.
    -plant corn were the peas were last year.
    -plant squash next to the corn.
    -plant peas next to the squash. The peas will be done by the end of july so the squash can grow into that area.
    then there will be a bed of lettuce, swiss chard, cabbage, broccoli etc. then a bed of onions, then a bed of carrots, then potatoes
    leave room for moving over crowded stuff to. Tomatoes and peppers are in the greenhouse.

  18. I've just started planting my seeds. Please tell us what your growing this March and when you planted….please if you have the time ☺️

  19. This is my first spring garden I live in Zone 9a I sowed bush beans directly in my 17 gal tote and they started to germinate , then died (we have had a lots, lots of rain) could this be the problem??

  20. Thank you for sharing your dessert knowledge. We are north of you so our last freeze is at least a month behind you so I get a fire gleam of my coming month. I’m just starting with my toms and peppers on heat mats. Thanks again!

  21. I love this women and her contents. She is clear and concise and her voice is soothing. She goes straight to her content

  22. I've learned so much from your channel and it's because of the way you present the information. It's well organized step by step information with visuals. I can go back to double check on any given point. I'm so looking forward to purchasing your books.
