The dimensions are 10 by 32 ft. I think that I could grow a plant in a flag pattern in here and it would work good.

All seeds sprouted. 3 of them have warped and wonky looking cots for some reason though? Not sure what that's about but oh well.

Plant update, they look okay, maybe a tad bit off. Their first true leaf just looks a little weird to me, maybe the soil mixture is a little low on something. I'm sure once I put them in the ground they'll perk up.

I've decided that I'm going to grow 3 plants instead of 2. I'm going to expand the garden and plant one in front of the greenhouse.

I planted the 2342 Stelts in the outside patch west. This is my best plant so far so I figured I'd give it the biggest spot.

This is the 2342 Stelts, it looks pretty rough. The weather hasn't been great lately and I think it's taking its toll. It's supposed to warm up later this week, though.
