Hello! I Recently bought my first house and I'm trying to get ideas for starting a square foot garden next spring. I have a list of all the crops I want to plant, but not really sure what my layout should be like or where to plant them. I know that I want 2'x8' raised beds and that's about as far as I've gotten concerning the layout. So, what I'm hoping for is anyone with buku experience that wants to lend a hand in helping me arrange the beds for optimum growing. The image I attached is just an aerial image of where I would like it in my yard. (approx. 25'25')

Crops include: Green/lima beans, carrots, onions, cucumbers, cherry/roma tomatoes, peas, zucchini, summer/acorn squash, pumpkin, watermelon, cantaloupe, asparagus, green peppers, eggplant, corn, and strawberries.

Thank you everyone in advance for any help.

I believe you can also grow your corn, beans, squash, zucchini, pumpkin, and other melons with the cucumber/watermelons. I sadly don't have enough space for all those, yet!

P.s. I grow my cucumbers on a triangle trellis over my melons. It's a perfect combo!
