I am fairly new to gardening. I started my first garden 3 years ago. After researching I decided to try a square foot garden. The main reason was for simplicity. I didn't want a complicated garden or I might have given up. So here I am 3 years later and I have expanded my square foot garden.
The concept behind a square foot garden is to plant everything in 1 square foot sections, at least most vegetables,(using grids) in a raised garden bed using a special soil mix to prevent weeds. It is small concept gardening.
I have 2 gardens. One is 4x11 feet and the other 4x14 feet. I have a total of 99 squares to plant my goodies.
My garden as of last week
I finally got my tomatoes and peppers planted with the tomato cages in place
I have planted peas, onions, cucumbers, pole beans, bush beans, zucchini, yellow squash, peppers, and tomatoes.
Next I will work on the netting for my cucumbers and beans and also a fence around the garden
Please share any of your gardening experiences and tips
