I heartily agree that my sq ft gardening extends to all areas of my yard
and I do appreciate all the info that many have shared on subjects that
intertwine ... such as bees, poison ivy, clematis, etc. ...

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html
Dear Friends,
Do others believe as I do that our
aesthetic-related discussions occurring here about "sqfting" cannot
be avoided from as easily as some seem to do? Do you wish
that we could benefit from ongoing discussions on some topics
which complement sqfting while nevertheless not directly discussing the
mechanics of gardening?
I know I could benefit from others' opinions of form,
function, design, and experience. I suggest to you that plants which may not
be planted directly in our sqft beds but which affect our whole gardening
experience deserve to be discussed.
Do our raised beds exist alone without affecting the
appearance and beauty of our yards and lives? Why can we not enjoy a greater
latitude while discussing these important factors in our yards and especially
how they relate directly to our whole experience as we enjoy and work in our
gardens?
As I think of each step in building my own square foot
garden I cannot separate the annual and perennial flowers which will provide
such beauty. For example my clematis will be behind the corn (if it works
out). I am trying to work out a comprehensive garden view where all
the elements cannot be ignored without harming the whole point of the exercise
in the art of square foot gardening.
I ask you to share your view here either for or against
greater latitude so we may discuss more than just how we build the
physical garden but how we can build sqft gardening into an experience
for all to enjoy. Feel free to say what you think. You will not hurt my
feelings.
Have a great day,
bill missen.
