Just wandering what you all use to make the rows in your garden.

Two broom handles, string, and a tape measure. I've actually used a

keep the garden, well, square. And I use the tape to actually put the

in the ground at the proper spacing. Please don't laugh at me. ; )

How's about if we snicker quietly behind your back?

My "rows" have more in common with a snake than a square! Trying to
put everything in straight lines would waste space in some places and
crowd plants in others. And then there are the basil plants that pop
up between rows, I don't have the heart to pull them all up. Not to
mention those late or extra vegetable plants I always end up with,
I can sorta squeeze them in those odd corners and wiggles.

I find it torture to thin, also. About the tape measure, I use graph
paper to
lay out the garden, so I've gotta use the tape to get everything just
right.
Here's a freebie for making the paper:

Ken,
I take it you are a Capricorn or at least an Earth sign?

I am a March 30th Aries. I'm afraid to ask what that might mean.
