This is my planned patch setup for the 2026 season. For those that have followed along in the past, my patch gets limited amount of sun especially the area closest to the woods. I get about 7-8 hours during peak summer and only about 4 hours on the side closest to the woods.
My layout this year gives both of the plants the same amount of sun especially towards the stumps through mid way down. The plants will be close to each other but I will have a narrow area I can walk down in the middle. The secondaries will have 10 feet on each side before I have to turn them back. The patch is about 42 feet wide and about 55 feet long. I believe that growing the plants this way will benefit me with maximizing the sun on the plants. I will throw a butternut in there at the end!
