So as I plan my first garden Kate suggested I look at "square foot gardening". Square foot gardening is great for beginners as it allows you to grow a variety of vegetables and fruits in a small space. For those living in a city you can be trapped on the top of a building in the middle of a city during the zombie attack and still enjoy fresh produce. Two thumbs way up on that!!!!
The garden plots at our local community garden are the same size as a piece of plywood so therefore 8'x4'. I used http://vegetableplanner.vegetable-gardening-online.com/ to design how I will use this space to grow food. It is a really cool resource on this gardening technique. With it I was able to make the following garden plan.
I picked most of my vegetables based on their ability to re-grow next year without needing to be replanted, and others for ease of seed propagation. I won't be able to order out of a seed catalogue or pop in the van to go to the nearest garden centre with thousands of wandering zombies hungry for my brain. I just won't!
Watch for the walkers,

Bad news, don't grow your potatoes and tomatoes next to one another, big no no in the gardening world.
