<h2>Part Three - Plan Your Summer Garden</h2>
<p>If you are on top of your game, you may already be planning your spring garden (it’s autumn where I live)! But the third part of Chapter One breaks down planning a summer garden!</p>
<p>Author Anna Hess writes about six main aspects of planning a summer garden - size, location, layout, record keeping, simple herbs/vegetables, and vertical gardening!</p>
<p><img src="https://static.pexels.com/photos/196643/pexels-photo-196643.jpeg" width="4000" height="2667"/></p>
<p><strong>First</strong>, consider how large of a garden you need. Most beginners bite off more than they can chew so it’s recommended that an initial planting area should be no more than 144 square feet.</p>
<p><strong>Second</strong>, start thinking about where this garden will be located. If you completed the suggestion from <a href="https://steemit.com/homesteading/@kiaraantonoviche/page-by-page-or-the-weekend-homesteader-a-12-month-guide-to-self-sufficiency-or-chapter-one-part-two">Part Two</a> about “Surveying Your Site”, this step should be quick and easy.</p>
<p>There are many different factors that influence a garden’s location including distance from the main living area, fertility of soil, sunlight, access to water, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Third</strong>, figure out the layout of your garden. Permanent beds with aisles are recommended because they produce more than row gardens. A typical raised garden bed should be approx. 4 feet wide so you can reach the middle from either side. Don’t forget to consider paths for walking, wheelbarrows, and lawnmowers!</p>
<p><strong>Fourth</strong>, keep detailed records of <em>what</em> is planted <em>where</em>. It’s easiest to make a simple map or spreadsheet to record which plants are growing where throughout your garden. It’s also beneficial to write down <em>when</em>you planted and any other pertinent information including soil amendments, harvest information, and/or disease and insect problems.</p>
<p><strong>Fifth</strong>, consider what to plant. Anna Hess includes an extensive list of simple vegetables and herbs to start with:</p></center>
<ul>
  <li>Swiss Chard</li>
  <li>Okra</li>
  <li>Summer Squash (including zucchini)</li>
  <li>Green Beans</li>
  <li>Tomatoes</li>
  <li>Mint</li>
  <li>Basil</li>
</ul>
<center><p>Your choice(s) should be determined by personal taste preference and whatever you plan to make with your produce.</p>
<p><strong>Finally</strong>, there is a small explanation of vertical gardening for those urban gardeners that don’t have much space to plan a summer garden! Vertical gardening is an excellent way to maximize production in small spaces because you expand your garden into a multi-dimensional attraction! Don’t hesitate to use trellises and hanging pots if you lack the yard to make raised beds!</p>

Thanks for the intro to this book - not come across it before.

I've just found it on Amazon UK as well - I will add this one to my Wish List. Maybe Santa Claus will spot it &#128522;

Hi Kiara,

Are you the friend of Anna's from Swarthmore?  I was glad to find your post on here about my sister!  I wonder if she even is aware of this gleaming review / write up you producing of her wonderful book, Weekend Homesteader!?

Keep being kind and gardening!

Hi there! I do not know Anna personally and I am not from Swarthmore! I am just a beginner gardener/homesteader and decided to look into some resources I found on Amazon! :D Nice to meet you!
