Watch this video to discover the #1 tool to get even MORE fresh food from every square inch of garden space you have.
You can grow so much more than you realize, even in small gardens.
The key is a GREAT PLAN : a roadmap for the ENTIRE growing season with weekly checklists so you can relax during the peak of the growing season, and you can have someone take care of your garden when you are away, too.
Your climate is UNIQUE!
You may think it’s too hard to plan an entire growing season because your climate is unique, plus weather is so unpredictable, you don’t like planning, or you’re too busy.
It is ESPECIALLY because of all of these reasons that you need a strategy to make the MOST out of the growing days you DO have. Stop spinning your wheels using generic garden plans and try what works instead!

Hello!
I’m Stacey Murphy and I’ve been a backyard gardener since 2009. My first year growing vegetables, I planted a whole bunch of seeds and harvested a respectable amount of food.
Throughout the season, however, I noticed spaces opening up here and there. I wasn’t sure exactly how to use those space, so I lost valuable time in the growing season. And I realized that losing time means less harvest!
With the help of an experienced farmer, I created my first “crop plan” for the next year…and I nearly doubled my harvest.
Over the years, I tweaked the plan to continue to save time, money and energy. And now you can put all my experience to work for you!
You don’t have to Crop Plan alone.
Here’s a home study class that shows you how to use my Done-For-You templates to pack more harvests into your garden year after year.
Don’t beat yourself up because you’ve tried to garden without as much food as you’d like to show for your efforts!
And certainly don’t wander aimlessly in your garden this year if you have space and aren’t sure what to plant.
Most online garden planners and workbooks get this wrong… and you have to do it all again next year:
Grow your own confidence when you discover how the RIGHT Crop Plan is re-used year after year!
Let’s create a simple plan TODAY so you know exactly what you need to do for your most abundant harvest yet.
You’d be shocked how little effort you spend in your garden once you have a weekly checklist of what to seed, transplant and harvest each week. That’s what a great plan can do for you… avoid the garden overwhelm!

While the template is 100 square feet of growing space, you can easily multiply this template to get a 200, 300, 500, 1,000 square foot crop plan or larger. Students have adapted these templates to gardens of all shapes and sizes.

If you have never planted a single seed, this class will be a BIG stretch. If you’re a quick start and you’re eager to learn, we’re sure you can follow along with the concepts. For your first season, follow the templates: seed, transplant, and harvest as close to the schedule as you can and you will learn A LOT! You will be building on a very strong foundation even if you don’t totally get it all yet.

We are never going to tell you growing food is easy – it requires some elbow grease, knowledge, commitment and a smile from mother nature in the form of favorable growing conditions. Grow Your Own Vegetables programs are intended to help you manage the uncertainties of nature and improve your chances for a successful harvest. But you’ve got to do the work to get the harvests. Your yields are up to you. We can support by giving great content, direction and strategies that move you forward. Any resource budget numbers referenced on this site are estimates, your local conditions WILL vary. We share these numbers for illustrative purposes only and like to believe that everyone can learn to grow food if he/she is really committed. The truth is that your yield is related to your experience and increases when you stick with it. Thanks for sharing this journey with us. Grow Your Own Vegetables, LLC
