Any one garden?
Going to get back to a small garden this year......
Anyone square foot garden? What's your top five have to plant vegetables?? |
Had square foot. Must have vegetables are eggplant, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, anaheim peppers, onion tops.
|
Not sure what "small is" but mine is 16 x 16. 4 rows: cherry tomatoes, kentucky bush beans(snap beans; 1 entire row, plenty!), banana peppers, bell pepers, eggplant. Basically, 2 landscape timbers wide by 2 length.

Square foot gardening
I've got the book on sq ft gardening here somewhere . you can have it if i can find it.
|
Yard is too small (thank goodness) The last house we lived in had a huge backyard we loved it at first, til about 3 years of mowing that sucker. I am really enjoying my neighbors satsuma tree though. I find about 3 satsumas in my yard each morning:p

I started a garden 2.5 years ago. Here are some pictures.
|
Impressive Gerald!!
|
Sorry ,I have torn the house apart and cant find that book ?
|
I have a 5 rows about 20 foot long......I plant Cucumbers, Creole Tomatoes, Zucchini, Okra, and Yellow squash.
I have a piece of cattle fence with 3 t post that I use for a trestle to grow my cucumbers on. I also have a blackberry vine |
gerald are you going back with pole beans or are you gonna try bush this year? Thought I remembered you saying that your pole beans didn't produce like you wanted. I planted contender bush beans in my winter garden and had a lot of success. just curious, sure would be more convienent to pick the beans without having to bend down as much!!

I talked to a guy and he was telling me that I might be putting too much ferterlizer for the beans. He said that beans don't like much ferterlizer. I started cleaning up the garden a couple of days ago, getting it ready. I will probably wait 3+ weeks before planting depending on what the Temperature forcast looks like. |
The next few days I will be tilling up the garden getting it ready. Typical plantings are tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, egg plant and green onions.

I got a chance to disc my garden again today(makes the 3rd time) and only stuck my tractor twice so i guess the ground is finally starting to dry up:shaking:, gonna try and make one row for my potatos tommorrow so i can hopefully get them in the ground next week, other than that I will spread triple 13 out this weekend and disc another 2 or 3 times then row up the whole thing, then I'll be ready to plant the rest.
|
Planted the taters Wed. Getting ready for everything else, tomatoes, peppers, melons, cantaloupes, squash, beans.
Shawn, you got a row maker with your tractor? |

Hell yeah
That would be great. Let me know when you get or if you need help going to get it or want to come by with your disc.
