For those who don't know me I can be a little bit of a geek. I like some of the interesting uses of technology that other people may not think of. So for this post I will show you how I channeled my geekness (or dorkness) to create a template that I can use draw out my garden plans using Google Maps.
Since I have a very strange shaped yard I was struggling to find a way to have a scale version of my garden plot...that is until I saw my property on Google Maps satellite view! All I had to do was do a screen shot of my property, print, put it on a light box to trace the property lines, and then do a few measurements to create the scale key for the whole thing. Once I had that I can enlarge to certain slices of our property or print 50 copies to be an OCD lawn and garden planner. Take a look at what I did.
