My Square Foot Garden

I now officially own two square foot gardens.


The official square foot garden is a box 4' x '4 with Mel's mix and a permanent square foot grid.  




Here is Box No. 1:

The four plants on the bottom right are strawberries. 

I planted onions in the bottom left squares.

The middle squares have cabbage and Broccoli.  

The top four squares have Peas in there. I will be putting a little support for the peas. 

The outer squares are filled now and will be used for carrots. 

Box one is going to be for winter crops and early planting. It has a green house attachment...

Box two on the other hand is equipped with a high trellis. This will be used for cucumbers, bell peppers and a melon plant. 

I also plan on planing bush beans, coriander and a jalapeno pepper plant. 

If you look behind the box you will see the trellis for the runner (pole) beans. 

That is it for now. Not much else will be planted until April. 

I notice that the Squirrels are digging up my garden already, probably trying to hide their nuts. 

This is a real problem as they could unearth any plants that are there. I guess I will have to use netting...

Anyone got a gun and wants to shoot some squirrels??
