Watch Me Grow

This year, I joined our church gardening group and started a garden. I have never done this before, so we will see how it turns out. We are all trying this new, or new to us anyway, method of gardening by Mel Bartholomew called Square Foot Gardening. You make a 4 foot square box with 2x4s and plant your garden in it. You can read more about it on his website by clicking here. I'm excited to watch my garden grow. I've planted tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, green peppers, spinach, and strawberries, all by seeds. We will see how good they grow. If you have any gardening advice, please clue me in. I need all the help I can get!!



Here is a picture of my first sprouts of spinach and my box.

Aww look at those little baby spinach leaves. I've heard of this method before, it should be just the right size for you guys. Dave really likes the box, he was checking it out.

I'm going to do this! I'm going to start on it tonight (hopefully)! So excited!

What a great idea. so much satisfaction knowing YOU have grown your own food. Good for you and YAY for green shoots coming up already!
