Chapter 66...My Square Foot Garden..2

Off Grid...Chapter...66 Hi all. I am posting more pictures and an update on my Square Foot Garden. I have never done any gardening before so if anyone sees something I should be aware of please let me know. I made my first garden on 5/16/09 and planted beans and cukes. On 5/24/09 I planted my peppers and tomatoes. Garden is sprouting on 5-27-09. I thinned out my beans to 9 per square foot as recommended by the SFG book. On 6/1/09 I had some questions about my cucumber seeds because I seemed to have too many. I wrote in and asked about that and I was told to trim them back. Here they are trimmed back. On 6-6-09 my DH helped me build another garden bed. We used some leftover wood from our solar panel mounts. Here is a 3x10 bed. I am very excited about being able to plant the rest of my plants. We moved the bed into a different area. Hopefully it will stay here permanently and next year we will add one more the same size. I might fence it off so the plants have a built in climbing support. My DH is dumping in some fertile dirt to help me build up the bed. Next I put the weed cloth in. Then I dump the ingredients for the special soil mix on a tarp. Here I am mixing it all together. And now the fun part. I planted the almost all of the rest of my veggies. I planted 3 kinds of peppers, 4 kinds of tomatoes, 2 summer squash, and 1 zucchini plant. Here is my new garden. I am very excited and I will be happy if 1/2 of my veggies produce. If they all produce come on over and help me out. I will post another update when things start growing. I am finding out that I don't have the patience for gardening. I want everything "now", lol. But I have to wait about 60 days just like everyone else, lol.
