Bountiful Harvest

This year we tried our hand at square-foot gardening, or Jason did actually, I just followed his instructions. It seemed to work very well. The idea is that you have every square-foot taken up by something you plan on growing, leaving no room for the weeds. Obviously, some veggies require more room to grow, so you plan accordingly. It's also supposed to require less watering (something we don't need to do much of anyhow since we get so much rain).

 A handful of seeds never sprouted so we had some spaces and the zucchini was on steroids and about took over the cucumber and cantaloupes, but overall, I think it was a success!

The corn never turned out, but they say corn is hard to grow in small amounts. We did get broccoli, red onion, green beans, peas, radishes, zucchini, cucumber, cantaloupe (not harvested yet, but hopefully soon), zucchini, strawberries, a few kinds of peppers, basil, zucchini, and few kinds of tomatoes.



Austin loves strawberries, so he got to pick the first one.




The strawberries are next to the space where nothing came up, though we did have lots of radishes early on in this area.



The zucchini plant on steroids.

The zucchini on steroids that I had already cut a few inches from.

We had some pretty big beefsteak tomatoes as well and the flavor of the cherry tomatoes, were to die for!!
