I'm not the only one at Epicurious with gardening on my mind (see Joanne's post about window gardening). During this dormant season, I've been contemplating how to better manage my plot at the local community garden. And now I can, thanks to the Kitchen Garden Planner at Gardener's Supply Company. This online tool is free and easy to use. All you have to do is provide the dimensions of your garden and pick the plants you want to grow. Then tool tells you how many plants of each will fit into one square foot, whether it be one tomato, 16 arugula, or two parsley. It's not the perfect tool (tarragon was not an option and it won't tell you how much sunlight each plant needs) but it still gave me some much-needed guidance. Potatoes, here I come!

I imagine graph paper was once very popular for plotting a garden. What tools are you now using to plan your outdoor garden?
