Garden Planner

Plan a vegetable garden in raised beds on a 30 cm grid: pick a crop and paint the squares, and see how many plants fit from the spacing. Choose where you garden – the UK and northern France, or West Africa (coast and forest with two rainy seasons, or savanna and Sahel with one) – for the right crops: tomatoes, carrots and kale, or okra, garden egg, groundnuts, cassava and yam. See what to sow and harvest this month, a sowing calendar, and a sowing log with the expected harvest date.
