Square Foot Gardening

This is our first year to try a vegetable garden.  Since we don't have a large area of yard that we wanted to devote to a garden, we're starting small and using ideas from this book.  Ryan built two 4x4 boxes above the ground and filled them with a mixture of dirt and manure.

Today the kids and I went with a friend to an Amish nursery to buy our plants.  After a few hiccups in the planting process, a certain young man had to be taught that digging up freshly planted plants was not the best idea in the world, we have everything in the ground and now we wait.




I'll let you know how it works out.  Maybe if it goes well we'll expand next year.
