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


Hi,

Last year I planted a full 4 X 4 bed with 6 rows of 6 plants and
intermingled cucumbers. Decent crop, but seemed awkward.

This year I planted 6 rows of 5 plants and plan to add some pole beans and
Butternut Squash.

Will report.
