    Well, mine is 30x50 feet but the small one is 20x30 I should try to get a larger yield next year.

    I planted this patch, about 3 rows, close together and then a regular row wide and started the next patch, which was carrots, which failed to grow, so I tilled those under and planted 2 close rows of garlic and then there are 2 new rows of raspberries for next year (I hope). On the other side of the beets are 3 wide rows of yukon gold potatoes which now need harvested. So, all in all, the garden is prob. 50'x 80' back there. The front garden is pretty chopped up into blocks due to the apples, raspberries, grapes, strawberries and greenhouses/hightunnels. I try to squeeze as much in where ever I can to get a crop all summer/fall long. I do have another row of beets in the front garden that were planted at the same time, but are doing poorly compared to the back garden.
