We decided this year that we wanted a garden. After the success of a couple of our friends had with square foot gardening we decided that is what we wanted to do. Joe was awesome and built the frame. We filled it with dirt, measured off the squares, and then went to work deciding what we wanted. Our tomato plants are huge and have tons of tomatoes on them, we have gotten several gallon size bags of spinach and lettuce, we have squash growing, we are enjoying our peas right now, peppers are beginning to get big enough to pick, and we have picked onions. It is by far the best success we have ever had in a garden. We are going to have tomatoes coming out of our ears.

Ok...your garden is awesome! How is it so big already? Ours are still so small and growing. No sign of tomatoes yet! Nice work!
Wish I was your neighbor. I've had zero success. I wanted to try square foot but I'm too lazy to build the darn frames by myself. Someday...someday.
I'll have to have Grandpa look at your garden photos. We can't dig into the soil without a jackhammer here.
That's so much fun! We bought the all new square foot gardening book last fall and just built our first box last week (yes we're a little behind =). I'm going to build a second box today. If we'd realized how easy it would be we may have built the boxes and planted before we started painting. You know what they say about hindsight!
square foot gardening is the way to go.
