If you are attempting to "design" your garden, or farm, or food forest and you feel overwhelmed, it's a telltale sign that you're trying to do too much at once. It's not your fault: the concept of designing anything is fraught with issues, which is why I like to keep the word inside quotation marks. The term projects the idea that knowledge is gathered, synthesized, and used to create an overarching plan, which is then implemented, in a very short time period. This scenario is necessary when the process is monetized and contracted out to a professional. This doesn't mean that you need to replicate this process for land you own or occupy long term. In fact, you have the luxury of taking your time, learning as you go, and creating systems that perfectly match your needs and abilities.
