🛏️ Bed Planner
Tell us your bed size, pick a crop, then drag it onto the bed or tap squares to plant it. Spacing follows classic square-foot gardening — one tomato per square, sixteen carrots, squash gets its whole 2×2 — and every crop carries its planting window for your zone plus the neighbor intel from our companion checker. Your plan saves itself in this browser as you go.
1 · Your bed size
2 · Pick a crop, then tap squares in the bed
📚 Full plant library — every growing guide
Variety footprints use classic square-foot densities from each guide's own spacing; sprawling crops take multi-square blocks like squash. Friend/foe data is species-level — from the planner's companion data for that plant group, not the individual variety. Trees, shrubs and landscape plants with no bed spacing show as guide links only.
4 · Garden journal
Bed-tied logs in the shape of the printable Living Root Garden Journal — they save in this browser with your plan and print with it. Removing a plant from the bed never deletes its log entry. The year-level pages — garden at a glance, seed inventory, preserving, expenses vs harvest value, year in review, garden legacy — stay in the printable journal: livingrootgarden.com/garden-journal/
Spacing: classic square-foot-gardening densities (Bartholomew conventions); crops the classic charts skip borrow their nearest botanical cousin’s spacing. Timing: the same Living Root zone calendars behind the Succession Planner above — Florida zones follow UF/IFAS dates. Neighbors: only pairings published in our companion data, with research-backed ones labeled; the rest is time-honored garden tradition, not lab results. Your microclimate gets the final say.
