Square Foot Gardening Update

Well it is now March and getting ever closer to the time to plant everything.


Square foot gardening claims that it is only 2% of the work of traditional row gardening, but that has to be after the preparation work. 


The prep work has taken a lot longer than I thought. 


The longest part admittedly was leveling the garden, which I guess I did for my preference and esthetic reasons....


Anyway, here is my greenhouse square:

It has been quite chilly the last few days - so I am glad everything is protected under here. 

The plants seem ok so far. As you can see in the inside picture - I have cabbage, broccoli, a jalapeno pepper plant and a bell pepper plant. The hanging baskets will have Lavender in there (grown from seed). 

Here is the square foot grid!

This is just six bits of 47 inch by 1.5 inch wood. Probably about half an inch high. 

This is what defines a garden as a square-foot garden - the permanent square foot grid!

So - I am almost there....
