Here are some garden plans to get you started if you’re not sure what to plant or how to lay out your new veggie bed.

Better Homes and Gardens offers free PDF downloads of thirteen different vegetable garden plans of various sizes and themes.

If you live in a mild winter area, you may need to adjust some plans. For example, most cabbage family crops do best when planted in the fall instead of the spring.
