I have a plot that is divided up to make it easier for me to ‘control’ and remember where things have been.
Approx. 1/3 has fruit & permanent/ semi permanent crops such as welsh onion, Daubentons kale, strawberries and sorrel, with some wild and semi wild flowers, which I leave to self seed and pull out any in the wrong place or if they get too much. In addition I use some of the gaps to grow things that wont fit in else where normally salads and squash. I also have a plastic ‘cone’ compost bin that wonders around where ever there is a gap for it.
I then have about 1/6th for shed, greenhouse, another compost bin etc. The rest is divided in to beds that are about 1.2m x 3 meters, where I grow the majority of my crops. I find this bed size is about right to have a whole bed of Purple sprouting, or kale, which makes it easy to manage. It also equates to approximately one half size seed tray, so 9, 12 or 20 seedlings depending on the final plant size.
Above all enjoy and remember there is no such thing as a failure – only learning
