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

This is the 2nd year at this home and my garden is as big as anyone I would 
have wanted.  It runs about 14X21 feet - what I did was make a grid on a 
excel spreadsheet and started configuring "square foot" beds.  They range in 
sizes from 3x9 ft to 2x16 ft. (just a little unconventional).   In each I 
figured what will be planted and with the square foot method I can figure 
exactly how many transplants/seeds I will need.  I am doing the usual 
tomatoes, peppers (hot & sweet), cukes, zukes, lettuce, root crops, 
beans/peas and just for fun, I am trying to grow the "baby" corns to use for 
stir fry.  I also have incorporated room for herbs and lots of flowers to 
attract bees (which are not too many around here, although the mosquitoes are 
so plentiful they can carry you away on a warm summer nite).  I have found 
that the flower stalk from lambs ears attract bees by the hordes - guess 
which plant is going to be moved closer to the vege garden.  I also bought a 
couple of asparagus roots last year - really just for the fun of it just to 
see what I can get.  

Now with all these grand plans, let's see what reallly happens in the growing 
season.  Working two jobs (7 days a week) gives little time outdoors, but 
being an obsessed gardner, backyard flood lights seem to help on those nice 
summer evenings to get things done.

How about anyone else..............what's growing with you?
