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

Nickie-  Actually, you are talking to Necia (pronounced Knee-sha), I am
Jeff's other (better?) half!  We live in Henrietta, 20 miles southeast of
Wichita Falls.   We moved to a new house in December, and I have been
bugging Jeff to help get the garden started ever since.  He was getting very
frustrated with me for a while!  I could certainly sympathize with everyone
else planning away with seed catalogs and calendars.   We finally have 5- 4'
x 4' beds.  However, they are not raised.  I have transplanted my broccoli
and cauliflower, planted onions and potatoes.  I planted corn seed last
weekend but have not seen them come up  yet.  I forgot to look on the
package and find out how long it is from planting to germination.  At this
point, I can't tell the difference between the small weeds and actual
seedlings so I am just letting all stay in the garden for a while!  We
planted our potatoes in big barrels and plan on adding more dirt when the
hulms reach 7-8" high.  My sister, who also gardens, read somewhere that you
can do this over and over and harvest tons of potatoes.  I guess we will
see!

Your garden and homestead sound great!  Good luck,
Necia
