Sure thing. A motorcycle frame’s only as straight as the guy who built it, so the same goes for a garden. Grab a long straightedge or a laser level, and line up each row one at a time. It’s hard work, but a few minutes of checking the spacing before you plant saves you from having to cut a bunch of tomatoes later. Think of it like tightening a chain—once you’ve got the tension right, everything stays put. And if the tomatoes start singing, you’ll know you’re doing it right.

Sounds like a plan. Just keep the laser level steady and let the basil do its thing. If the stem’s off, trim it back a bit and readjust. A straight line is all you need; the pumpkins won’t mind the small bends as long as the rows stay tight. Good luck, and keep the rhythm going.

Thanks. I’ll keep the engine humming while you get those pumpkins in tune. Good luck out there.
