Okay, here's my critique. You probably did not design it, actually, you just built it--a big raised bed with a fence around it. Ideally, I would use a completely different design for a fully-fenced garden as for one not fenced--both as to dimensions and where the garden actually "is" with regard to the house and to the fence and to any paths or stepping stones that will be needed. However, you were able to take some advantage of where you attached the fencing to the perimeter. You can retrofit it now with some kind of step stones or paths in order to try to work in it. It's too close to the house so you lose the ability move very well back there or to work freely through the back fence or to run a wheelbarrow back there. You lose a little bit of some space advantage you could have had to let larger plants (indeterminate tomatoes; peas and beans) which like to spill out over the back sides--but you could still place them at the ends. These types of vegetables are really fun to grow in places where you can just saunter up to pick them at eye level (I am revealing my middle-agedness here). Of course, it isn't that much fun to try to work through the squares of fence, so you will mostly want to work from inside. If you put a path through the middle then will still have a few feet on either side for your crops. You can have a lot of fun with this garden regardless and learn a lot about growing different types of stuff. I always feel pressure to try to put as much as possible in the small veggie garden, but sometimes that can take the fun out of it (pressure! pressure!) as much as it can be fun. But if you do check out some of the photos and articles on small-space or square foot gardening, they will have some helpful tips on where to place different vegetables with regard to each other (height and growth patterns, time to maturity, multi-season planting). I would work out your pathways, and plan on enjoying plenty of tomatoes (next year) , herbs, and lettuces. In your zone, you can plant cilantro and parsley now and it will grow all winter and thaw out great after freezes. Also all kinds of lettuces and greens as suggested above.

That's no good,,,even though the wall is only about 7 bricks high,and doubled? I'm trying to make the center deep enough for them to be overwinterized. It's about 20 inches deep in the center...the brick wall only holds about 7 incheshigh of water. I'll try to post a pic,,I've never been successful at it though! LOL

I'm sure there will be others that will find something to critique, but I think that overall, it's a very good plan. There seems to be a good triangle between the fridge, cooktop, and cleanup sink. I'd encourage you to really think about your storage needs and make notes about what you plan to store in certain cabinets and then think about the relationships drawn out. For instance, there is quite a bit of landing space beside the fridge to the left. It's removed from the main section of kitchen so it may be seldom used unless you have specific plans such as a toaster/coffee station, etc. For instance, if your plan was to have a coffee station there, consider then how you'd get your water to put in the coffee maker (see what I mean?) If you don't have specific plans for that space, I'd consider moving the fridge to the left and possibly incorporating the current fridge space into the pantry. Of course, this is only generalizing, but having done a new build a few years ago (in a different house), I didn't really consider all those things and I ended up with some major and minor inconveniences. HTH!

Well, make sure when you register the domain name that you do it as a private registration (i.e. hiding the whois information, thereby making it somewhat difficult to track down who owns the website). It costs a little more, but in a situation like this, it would be worth it. That way, if someone does decide to sue you, they have to put a little more effort into it (presumably by contacting your webhost, and demanding your personal information. Which the webhost should not give up without a subpeona from the suing person's lawyer.) You'll also want to make sure that you find a host that isn't going to dump you at the first complaint (which is far, far too common), so you may want to check out some of these here. I'd also make sure that you review any submissions/cases to the site from other people before validating them, to ensure that there are not any identifying pieces of information, as davidandkasie said before. Faces should be blacked out, and no full addresses -- that's the definite road to getting sued. If you do this, you really ought to do it as a dynamic site (in php, asp, etc with a database) so that people can automatically submit things, you can quickly validate them, and people can leave comments, etc. I really hate rinky-dink websites where you have to submit content through email. It's horrendously time-consuming for the webmaster, and frustrating for the submitters to wait for their content to go up.
