mine is 20 x30 at home and the food plot will be 250x150 roughly..... although if i do pumpkins this year the garden may be made to 20x40 to give a little more room

Mine is 26' x 40'. I have a few herbs in containers usually and this year I am planting dill somewhere this year too. I need to get out of town......I would have stuff planted everywhere! ;D

30x60 is what I'm planning for unless I take down the little tree before my buddy gets over with his garden tractor. Then I'm going 60x60  |

Watchout with that Dill Todd, don't let it go to seed. Pull the plants before. Heard on the garden forum that is one of the most notorious plants for spreading a very high amount of "volunteers" the next year. They even say not to throw a Dill plant that went to seed in the compost bin.
I asked about size because I went out today where I'm putting the garden (end of a 2 and a half acre lot) and there is an issue with level ground. I'm thinking I can get away with 30x30 on level ground, but wanna go 40x30. What do you think about me going 40x30 and in the low end put watermelon plants since they love water?

Yeah I have heard that about the dill. I think I am going to put a small patch next to my shed and the area around it would just be lawn.....should be ok there I think.
That should work out good for your garden. I have never grown watermelon before though so I am not 100%.

I don't know the exact size of our garden, I think it's somewhere between 30x40 - 40x50. Ours isn't all that level, but doesn't seem to be an issue. At our previous house, we had a 30x90 garden and that wasn't big enough either! But we did grow strawberries, flowers, hops, giant pumpkins and a few other things there that we've eliminated due to space.
I'm hoping to plant more herbs this year too. We go through a lot of cilantro (that self-seeds easily too!) and I need more dill this year. My dilly beans turned out so good, plan to make a lot more this year!
