I’m in the midst of getting my planning done, 8 week starts need to get started next week for last frost at end of May.

This way I’ll know approximately how many seedlings to start and I can keep track of which ones we enjoy. With the layouts, it will allow me to keep track of crop rotations to minimize nutrient depletion. I most likely won’t do a round of cover crops though, I can always just throw some of my other nutrients to top up when needed.

Edit Link to the Libreoffice and Excel doc the file was just saved as excel format, so there is likely formatting issues. If the link reaches its limit send me a msg and I’ll make another.

Well, that's another unexpected use-case for Excel that is actually pretty cool. Would you mind sharing it as a template?

I actually planned on doing the same thing since the only alternative I could think of was mspaint for planning my garden rows in the fields.

Holy shit, I started with paint and gave up when you couldn’t just easily make grids. It’s like I want to color squares, I know I can do that in excel.

You mean Calc, since OP is using LibreOffice, as if they are not smart enough already.

I was just too lazy to get the credit card to renew my office subscription…

Of course! I would have used word, but it doesn’t like tables and I’ve messed around with excel more more for inspection templates, so seemed a perfect aside.

Linky I’ve used Libreoffice, I’ve saved it as an Excel format as well, but I don’t know if the formatting transferred or not.
