I know! Planning out the garden can be so time consuming,but nothing outweighs the end result with the harvest.
I read so much about which plants/flowers/herbs need direct sunlight, shade and then add in the companion planting part of it and it becomes a job for someone with a college degree.
I do the same thing, and I really do plan it down the the last detail as best I can, but when I get out there my free spirit kicks in and I start planting things all over the place forgetting all my charts and notes. I like to think that some of it just "sticks" and happens anyhow.
A person with OCD would hate my garden. :)
