Square Foot Gardening


Have you heard of this? Supposedly you can plant more in less space and not have to worry about weeds! Some people refuse because it seems too easy, but it was perfect for Grandma and Grandpa who this year didn't have any gardening space and who love gardens. They have 3 4x4- squares (each divided into 16 smaller squares) filled with dirt and fertilization and have planted peas, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, potatoes and flowers. :) Samuel and Sofia each got two small squares of their own and have to help grandpa water it each night. :)

I'm interested in seeing the yield on these square foot garden boxes.

How fun for your children to play in the dirt with Grandpa!

I should try that...our garden is such a pain to till up and plant!

What a great idea! We might have to try something similar one year... then each kid can have a square they are responsible for and mom and dad can have our own too!
