Planting Diagram
Here is the diagram for Amy’s ‘Just Add Water’ garden. You need a 10′ by 10′ space, the right seeds, a little attention, and yes, water.
What you’ll get is a great reward of fresh food for your efforts.

Planting Instructions
Plants are listed in the order in which (ideally) you can get them into the ground. If you’re a little late – it’s not the end of the world.
Flowers should be planted in the center of your plot. (The diagram is a little off for better readability.)
