Hello all,
 
My name is Jean, and I am new to the list, and to square foot gardening. I have always been a big fan, but my thumb is a bit black, so I am hoping to change all that. I live in sunny and hot Dallas, Texas -- zone 8a.
 
I am planting my first sq. foot crops tomorrow. I'm so excited! Currently, I have several tomato plants (about 5 each per planter) planted in 32 quart planters. The tomato plants are now about 18" tall.
 
Questions for you green thumbs:
-at what point should I add those trellis-like round wire things to the pots to support the toms?
-do the tomatoes adhere to that thing by themselves, or do I need to do something special?
-and for trellis planting in general... I want to add a trellis to my existing bed. Can you recommend some crops that are pretty easy for someone like me to start with?
-Kitty: which new book were you referring to in your purple tomatillo post? And... happy birthday!! :-)
 
I hope that I am not asking too many questions. I haven't finished the Sq. Ft. Gardening book yet. I also downloaded some shareware for planning gardens. It is called gardening3.exe. Any opinions?
 
Thanks so much for being here! I am waiting in delighted anticipation for your response.
 
Jean
