Finally sat down and mapped out my whole garden properly. Been growing fruit trees and perennials for a few years but never had a clear picture of how it all fits together until I drew it out.
All my vegetables are crammed into the top left corner next to the greenhouse. The rest is fruit trees and perennials, partly because they've been the most productive part of the garden by far, and partly because it's the back garden and my partner likes it to look nice. Hoping to claw back some more veg space in the next few years.

I built
Leaftide for this (biased, I know), but honestly just doing the exercise of mapping it all showed me things I'd missed for years. Stuff competing for space that I hadn't noticed, obvious gaps.
Does having a visual map actually change how you plan, or is it overthinking it?
