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

Chris,

I haven't tried cinderblocks, but can tell you fall is the best time to 
start your garden! Get someone to put down lots of soil amendments--compost, 
manure and such. I'm sure someone here can give you more details on what to 
add. Better still, get a soil test from your local cooperative extension and 
they will tell you what your soil might need.
You don't have to till the stuff in, just cover with straw, hay, newspapers 
or black plastic.


In the spring your beds will be ready to plant and as a bonus they will warm 
up sooner!

Speaking as the mom of a four year old and now of a 10 week old, keep things 
very simple. Plan on low maintenance crops and LOTS of weed control!

better, but between the job, the kids and the heat wave, it just isn't gonna 
look picture perfect real soon!)
