Angie, the Territorial Seed Co. and the planner rina mentioned are the same and really offer a lot of great information. For example, It has plant descriptions, spacing, companion planting, nutrient needs. The plant guide feature is a color chart showing when to plant seeds, when to plant in the ground, and when to harvest. Garden features like low tunnel will change the plant dates to show how much it might extend your growing season including plenty of space to make notes. It will alert you of plant rotation based on the previous year garden layout. It really is worth looking into with a 30 day trial period. If it isn't worth the cost, you don't have to buy it. I print mine when I think it is what I want and refer to it constantly. Give it a try as you might be surprised how much information is available.

You have a wonderful backyard. I rather like the two sofas facing each other with the TV on the long wall. I think you could do a free standing gas stove in the corner by the stairs. We did it in our last house and it was very efficient heating (if you have gas). We did a direct vent out the side and it looked great. It was on an angle in the corner.

Tended App is an option that works on phones, tablets, and desktops and does about half of what you're looking for: https://www.tendedapp.com It lets you visually design a garden (including across different seasons, so you could keep track for crop rotation purposes), track your inputs and outputs, and see reports about your growing. There's also basic task management on a calendar view, the ability to upload photos, and it lets you see other gardeners' layouts as well. Check it out!

I agree 100% with groveraxle on the way to get started. In addition, I’ve been thinking a lot about the appearance of your living room being so long and narrow. I think something that helps create that feeling is the darker color on the back wall. Generally, dark colors feel like they recede, and light colors tend to come forward, so with the darker tv wall, it makes the room seem longer and narrower than it actually is. If that doesn’t bother you, then it’s not really an issue. But if it’s something that you’d like to address, I’d suggest that you paint that wall the same colors as all your other walls. Or, do something interesting with that wall to create a stronger focal point, and do it in such a way that wall seems to come forward a little bit, or even helps to make the room feel wider. You had mentioned earlier the idea about adding some stone to the wall, you could also use wood, tile, or wallpaper, depending on what appeals to you most. I don’t know if the stone is considered out dated or not, but I was certainly able to find sample photos of it here on Houzz, and if you love the look, I don’t think it matters if it’s “in” or “out” because trends always cycle around, and some of the best designers are brilliant because they know when to break the rules. If you don’t have a fireplace, I think a stone wall could be an outstanding choice. Here are a few looks for your consideration: This one features a full wall of stone, but see how nicely the paint color echoes the color of the stone, so the attention is drawn to that wall because of it’s texture. You could get a similar look with wallpaper or a subtle stencil design if you don’t want to do stone. I think there’s too many floating shelves here, but one or two on each side of your tv could be a nice place to display some smaller art, candlesticks, glass vases/art, a collection of some kind, and/or small scale plants. Notice how tall the drapes are to create greater height in the room? This one is probably close to what you were referring to about a center column of stone on the wall. Notice how it comes into the room by a few inches and the sides are finished. It feels like a fireplace. One of the special things about this design is the warm lighting under the floating console which keeps the look very modern. With the raised wood (bamboo I think) panels and strong horizontal lines of this wall treatment, this really expands the feeling of width in the room. And with this look, you need almost no ornamentation. And this one I included, just to show you how gorgeous a console can be all on it’s own. The style of this look is timeless and will never go out of style. And again, styling of the console is very simple. Just a low round bowl of what looks like one kind of succulents. Very clean and modern, but very organic feeling too. Let us know what look appeals to you, or post some other photos that you’re inspired by.
