Cross-Shaped Multi-Level Pumpkin/Melon Farm

I like to design my farms to be compact and use the least amount of water buckets. This design isn't compact but it does only use 1 water bucket.

The goal of this was to see how many melon/pumpkin farm combos I could fertilize with 1 bucket of water. This was the result. It's based on the flow of water so it's nothing complicated or special. Currently, it has 3 farms on each side for a total of 12 farms. You can raise it higher in the air to add more farms to each side.

The middle also has 4 tiny patches for growing wheat, carrots, potatoes or all 3. It wasn't designed to serve multiple crops but when I was done I noticed there was room so i added them. I mean, you can plant other things in the melon/pumpkin farms but that would be terribly inefficient. A 9x9 square with 1 water source in the center is the most efficient way of growing everything else.

Additional Notes

Now that I think about it, you could probably re position the farms to make it smaller, I will have to test that out.
