Plan the garden once, on paper, and the spring is calmer. The left half of this landscape page is a plain squared grid for the plot itself: draw the beds, the path, the greenhouse and the water butt, number each bed, and mark the shade cast by a wall or a tree. Choose one-inch squares for a simple sketch, or half-inch squares, which print with every second line darker so an inch still reads as one unit when you need finer detail.
A scale line under the grid is left blank on purpose, because gardens differ: write one square equals one foot for square-foot beds, or one square equals one metre for a larger plot, and the drawing stays honest. The right half is a 19-row plant list with a bed number, the plant, the variety, the spacing, the sowing date and the expected harvest, so the sketch and the planting detail stay on one sheet instead of two.
The whole plant list is fillable, so you can type the varieties straight off the seed packets and keep the page tidy, then print it and draw the beds by hand with a pencil and a ruler. Print at 100% and the squares come out at their true size, which is what makes the plan measurable rather than decorative. Keep last year's sheet beside this year's and crop rotation becomes something you can see instead of something you try to remember. One landscape page, US Letter or A4.
