Progress...


Okay, so I realize that not everything about this picture is beautiful. However, I am so excited about the progress I am making in my (not-s0) Square Foot Gardens that I decided to go ahead and share. First of all, I have a third box. You just can't see it in the picture. Secondly, almost all of my flower places are partial shade and there are so many beautiful, full-sun flowers! I decided to put one section in flowers and then I planted flowers in the edge of the gardens that is closest to our street. I planted 54 green bean plants, 3 squash plants, 5 tomato plants, and 3 peppers. I know that this may not seem to be much to some of you seasoned gardners but this is just my second try so I'm keeping it pretty small. I am also hoping to put some mulch around and between the boxes to make it look a little prettier. We shall see. Can't wait to see things starting to grow!

  3. Lookin' good! We've yet to start planting our garden, as it's been too wet. But we started our tomato and pepper plants from seeds this year, so we have quite a few plants in our dining room, waiting to be transplanted. Trust you have a bountiful garden this year!! =)

  4. I love it! I have almost FULL shade in our yard, so I think I'll be gardening vicariously through you this year.

  5. Sounds like you just might have a very good harvest!! When you say "54 green bean plants" and then "small" well you may rephrase that later on in the season :o) Hope all does well for you. We sure are missing gardening here although we do want to try a few things sometime. Between the heat and time ~ we'll see.
