Zones & Garden Layout
How MyVeggieGarden uses zones to organize your garden spaces, track conditions, and plan crop rotations across seasons.
Zones are the physical spaces in your garden — raised beds, planters, in-ground rows, patio pots. They connect your plants to real places.
What zones track
Each zone stores: name, sun exposure, dimensions, soil type, constraints, and notes. Constraints are lessons learned — "squash borers 2024" or "too shady for peppers" — that prevent you from repeating mistakes.
Why zones matter
- Location history. After a few seasons, you can see what was in each bed each year — essential for crop rotation.
- Condition memory. Sun exposure, soil problems, and pest history stay with the zone, not just in your head.
- Support tracking. Fixed structures (permanent trellis, fence) belong to zones and carry across seasons.
- Planning context. During season planning, zone cards show what's planted where with health indicators, so you can make informed placement decisions.
Zone cards
On the Plan page, each zone appears as a card showing all active plantings with status indicators, support assignments, and quick actions to add plants or log entries.
