Plan and visualize a complete backyard garden overhaul
It's finally gardening season in the Midwest, and I wanted to do a big overhaul of my space with a new large in-ground bed and a more organized layout of crops. I first took some images of the space and had ChatGPT / Codex generate some visualizations of what it could look like based on my rambling list of requirements and measurements. After deciding on the vision, I asked for help creating a materials list, a step-by-step guide to building the bed (with instructions on sawing, drilling, etc.). I also provided a list of what we wanted to grow, and was able to get a well-planned map of where to place each plant, optimizing for aspects like shade vs. sun, companion plants, vining, etc. Several trips to Home Depot and a couple of days of work later, we have an awesome, refreshed space and a thoughtful, organized garden for the season! 1. I photographed the existing garden space and wrote down the measurements, requirements, and rough ideas I had in mind. 2. I gave the images and requirements to ChatGPT and Codex and asked for several visualizations of the finished space. 3. Once I chose a direction, I asked for a materials list and step-by-step instructions for building the in-ground bed. 4. I supplied the full list of plants and asked for a placement map based on sun, shade, companion planting, and vining behavior. 5. I used the plan to buy materials, build the bed, and install a more organized garden layout.
Produced design visualizations, a materials list, build instructions, and a planting map optimized for the space.
