planning

so it is planning stage of the garden,

number one is to decide what your goals with your garden are,
do you want to save money ?
do you want better quality food ?
are you trying to make money by selling food ?
do you just want it pretty ?
are you growing for seeds ?

there are lots of goals,
and you have to grow for your goal,

also keep in mind your limits (like area, water, and sun)

think about that for a bit,
