Pick a bed

Roller door and the dog's turf run across the top, back door at the bottom, hedge down the east and west fences. Tap a planter to see its size and record what's in it. Drag any bed or the table, double-tap to turn it 90°, or nudge with the arrow keys. Everything snaps to 50 mm.

What to sow

 

Melbourne sowing windows, filtered by each bed’s computed light for the month, its soil width and its measured depth. Beds whose depth has never been measured are matched on light and width alone — they are marked, not excluded.

What performed

Watering zones

Seed tin

Viability is typical years of good germination in a cool dry cupboard, by crop family. Parsnip and onion are effectively finished after a year; tomato and pumpkin are fine at five. Past its best does not mean dead — ten seeds on a damp paper towel for a week settles it.

Vertical garden sits on the fence line above the herb bed, so it's drawn over that bed's edge. Worm cafe, turf, screens and hedge are fixed; everything else drags. Export the plan once the layout is right — it won't survive a reload otherwise.
