I need design ideas for my garden. Its brand new, we just tilled and amended the soil, and now I have a blank 11 or 12' by 22' of dirt. I want to fit as much in as possible but I also want it to look pretty. The veggies I have now are,
4 spagetti squash
4 acorn squash
4 zuckeni (sp?)
12 bush tomatoes
1 pkg. bush green been seeds
1 pumkin for my daughter
4 jalapeno
4 bell peppers
1 rosmary plant
1 pkg. parsley
1pkg. dill seeds
1pkg chive seeds
1 pkg cucumber seeds
2 pkgs loose leaf letuce
several pkgs of marigold seeds

I think I want a path dowm the middle on the narrow side and two paths on the wide side separating it into 6 sections. I would like it to look pretty but don't have alot of money. But am very good at keeping things neat. Any suggestions? Pictures for ideas would be appreciated

RE: potager design ideas?

It may sound trite but check out your library for Kitchen garden books. I just checked out 3 from my local library. Or if you are short on time do a google image search for kitchen gardes, potager etc. See what kind of look attracts you and take it from there. I'll say that I do love raised beds, many advantages. Good luck!
