When i took on my half plot i sat down with pencil and paper and thought about what i really love to eat, what my family and i would eat year on year.
I then thought about the space these crops would need and went up the plot and measured.
Sat down with graph paper and pencil and planned out my beds, i don't have them all in just a few, will add others as i get more confident and know what grows where, so i have a chunk at the moment for spuds to help break up the soil and a chunk for growing climbing crops, beans, peas, courgettes and outdoor cucumbers.
Alot depends on the time you have to give to your plot, i am free time poor at the moment so i have put down black plastic to suppress the weeds on alot of my plot until i have time to cultivate it.
It is all depending on your circumstances and how soon and what you want to grow.
