Oh, the garden layout.

It is one of my favorite parts of garden planning.

I love taking all of the crops that I dream to grow for the garden and put them in the

space that I hope that they will grow in.

It's all on pen and paper or maybe even my Good Notes app, which I've been using with my

complete garden planner

lately, it allows me to change and edit and erase and all that. But either way, just being

able to see those little squares on that paper and being able to identify where I'm going to put

the different crops in my garden. I love to do it. But as a perfectionist, it is a little bit irritating when I can't get everything

right and when not everything fits. So whether you're drawing your layout right now or maybe you just

take your plants out to the garden with you and you're trying to find a place to put them,

not saying I haven't done that before. Usually my best laid out

plans of a garden layout by the time I actually go to plant, there are always adjustments. So don't worry

if that happens to you. It's normal for everyone. But more times than I can count, I sometimes run out

of space, but I still have more plants than I want to grow.

Or if I'm in the middle of planting, I have more plants left over that where am I going to put them?

Right? Have you been there?

Well, there are some methods that I have started using over the years to be able to add the plants that I want to add even if I've already run out of space, whether that space

on my piece of paper or that's space in my actual garden when I'm planting. My hope is that in

this quick episode today, I can give you some creative ideas to still be able to fit in all the

crops that you want to grow within reason in your garden. So let's take a look at some of

those options now. The first thing that I do if I run out of space, but I still have more crops
