You really should follow the square foot gardening technique.
http://www.squarefootgardening.com/ I've had a big garden and this technique is so much easier. If you only make your garden 4 foot wide and then however long you want, you never have to walk in it and you can reach everything. It is so cool - his techniques make so much sense! You could even have a square foot garden on your deck!!!
We have 4 strawberries that are pinkish/red!!! I can't believe it!!!!! We got some garden netting to go over them so the birds won't eat them before we do! LOL!
