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

Deb, gardening is about fun and relaxing - not stressing out!  For some of us 
it is our relaxation "therapy" after a busy week at work. It seems to me that 
nature has a way of forgiving imperfections in us gardeners and will make up 
for our short comings most of the time.  The way I have my tomato plot 
figured is 3 feet wide, and the plants put in sort of like a checkerboard 
layout*, with basil in the squares the tomatoes are not in.  This uses every 
square foot, but leaves room for each tomato plant to have good air 
circulation.  My plot is 3 x 9 and there will be about 13 tomotoes in this 
area.  My peppers, however, I put 1 per square foot and if your soil is well 
amended, there should be no problem.

*       tomato      basil   tomato    basil      tomato      basil
        baisl      tomato     basil     tomato      basil      tomato
        tomato      basil     tomato    basil       tomato      basil  

this is a sort of example of what I am doing (sorry for lack of squares to 
make it easier to see)

Good luck, enjoy your garden this year!
