I’m Bethany, and I garden in south Missouri.
When I started trying to plan my garden properly, with crop rotation, succession planting, the whole thing, I kept hitting the same wall. The advice was either too vague to use or written for market farms with acres of ground. Charts with eight crop groups. Planting schedules built for 100-foot rows.
I have a handful of beds. Most home gardeners do.
What this site is for
Abundant Garden Planner is for regular home gardeners: raised beds, backyard plots, vegetables and flowers. The goal is simple: help you plan a garden that works, year after year, without needing a degree in horticulture or a spreadsheet you’ll abandon by June.
Right now that means plain-language guides:
- Crop Rotation for Raised Beds, Made Simple
- Succession Planting for Small Gardens
- How to Find the Best Vegetable Varieties for Your State
What I’m building
Next comes a set of free tools, starting with a finder that pulls together each state’s recommended vegetable varieties so you don’t have to dig through PDFs one state at a time.
The bigger plan is a full garden planner that remembers your beds from year to year: what you planted, where, and what should go there next. One thing that matters to me: your garden history should stay yours. You shouldn’t lose years of notes because you stopped paying for an app.
If that sounds like something you’d use, join the list on the homepage and I’ll let you know when the first tools open.
Why trust me?
I’m not a horticulture professor, and I won’t pretend to be. When I share growing information, I point you to the research behind it, usually your state’s university extension service, so you can check it for yourself. What I bring is the home gardener’s side: what’s actually doable in a small garden with a busy life.
Thanks for being here. Happy planning.
