Conceptualizing a garden in my patio

This unit in the food class (basically fuel but replace fuel with food, or water but replace water with food), there was an attempt to grow mycelium in Petri dishes. They got incubated way too hard and died, but mine got some cool mold on it afterwards. My assignment was to design a garden, and lucky for me I already had one, so I just went off that.

Above, there is a diagram of the garden, with length and width measurements in yards. That means the area of the garden is .75 square yards. The volume of the soil should be about .2 square yards, assuming the area is .25 square yards tall, because 1.5x.25x.5=.18, which I’m rounding to .2. Assuming one cubic inch is an ounce, my soil would weigh 9331 ounces or 583 pounds.

I plan to grow beans, potatoes, and corn. Because these are what’s known as annual crops, I’ll have to regrow them every year. However, more plants that I plan to grow are grapes, peanuts, and strawberries, which don't need to be replanted annually, and are called perennials. This is a diagram of where I expect to grow these on my garden: 

The soil I have isn't great, it’s quite lacking in macronutrients (nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus.) essential for plant growth which is why the peanuts are there, because they’re supposed to make the soil healthier by providing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. As for any crop besides the peanuts, I’m just planting it because I think they’re tasty.

Now for when I should plant them. I’ll plant the potatoes, peanuts and grapes in April, and the beans and corn in July. The strawberries will be planted in march. The gardening style I’m planning on doing relates to the philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka because I don't intend to use things like chemicals or hoes to loosen up the dirt, as Fukuoka didn’t believe in newer scientific methods of farming and instead believed in what he called ‘natural farming’.

All in all, I think I’ve got a pretty solid plan. I like the food I’ll be planting, and then I get to eat it, probably for cheaper than buying it ‘normally’, and I also get to feel accomplished.
