Legume Plan

This is kinna a "Note to self" so I don't forget where to plant what.

So, given the fact that beans are a 'continuous producer' and irresistible to deer and rabbit, it makes the most sense to me to plant them nearest to the house where we can keep the closest eye on them.  The three types of peas that are going to be the first in the ground are of varying heights so I need to make sure not to plant the tallest variety first thus obscuring the view of the rest of the field.  This led me to design this little close up planning/tracking tool.  You'll see it evolve throughout the season as I tweak it to make it more useful.  The naming convention for where the crops are going looks like this example: "Soybeans in 497A1".  So Soybeans are going in field 497 in row A in the first 10ft. (or 10% of that row if the row is shorter or longer than 100').
