Re: Sqft Gardener's Logbook - week of 4/3/00

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I'm in Zone 5 - not far from Chicago. My Spinach just started to emerge 
overnight. It was planted on 3/26. There's no doubt that I started the 
tomatoes, peppers and eggplants early as they are a bit large for indoors. We 
had snow flurries this morning so I'm not ready to get them outside yet, even 
if covered. I'll just have to do my best and if they doin't make it, I'll buy 
starts at the nursery. I so most of my gardening using the sqft method 
applied to large containers and 30" X 9" boxes so I don't need all that many 
anyway.

Thanks 
 Mike
