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

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

I just had to jump in on this subject.  This being the second season at this 
house I decided to expand the garden to 14' x 21', to include everything from 
veges to herbs to flowers (to attracte bees).  Last year it was 4 rectangle 
beds of 4'x9' but this year I decided to go a little crazy and reconfigured 
the whole thing in a different design.  I now have a total of six various 
sized beds and a three foot wide border along the shady back part of the bed 
for shade loving flowers and starting perennial seedings in the summer.  Let 
me tell you, I am only doing one bed at a time as I need to plant it.  The 
snow pea and spinach seedlings are coming up nicely.  The brassicas are in 
(transplants from seed), and next will be the bed for the root crops.  An 
Excel spread sheet was helpful in making the square foot designs come to life 
when I was planning this.  

The weather here in Barnegat, NJ has been fairly nice, although today it was 
a bit chilly for my taste.   Being I work 2 jobs/7 days a week, I only have a 
few hours on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and nites after dinner to work the 
garden, but square footing it helps keep it managable and easy to keep track 
of.  

Am so glad spring is finally here, now if it would just warm up a bit more!

Debbie
