When we get this all setup (tomorrow!?!), the back garden will be 36 square feet and the front garden will be about 53 square feet for a total of 89 square feet.


In the back garden, I'd like to plant the climbing veggies: tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, etc. I'd like to put the remaining (non-root) veggies in the front garden. The root veggies will go in the planter with the strawberries, which looks like this:
