Fortunately, the dogs love Zuchinni of which I had 10 plants.
This spreadsheet provide information on number of plants needed, customizable for number of people, and a "like" factor based on whether you want more of a vegetable or less.
It also gives you plant spacing data, and plant height so you can plan your layout (tall stuff goes to north side)
And it calculates the total square footage needed, including room for walkways and tools and such.
No wonder the neighbors call me "Super Garden Guy" LOL
Enjoy, I will maybe improve this spreadsheet in spring. Bottom line...it worked, besides buying occasional protein (chicken, milk, beer) this garden did achieve the goal of producing all our food.
I think I saw some TSA drones over the garden (Tomato Surveillance Agency)

This is great, stock. How do I get the "Basic Crops" diagram to go larger? When I click on it, it goes to another Window but it's still hard to read. And I want to read it and print it out because that's a great resource diagram you created!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually on vaycay as I write this, but I wanted to be sure to tell you that your intelligence and good-character come through in your blog and posts, and I am grateful for all of your hard work.
Doh! I figured out how to make it larger. Thank you again. It's great.
