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

Hi all, I'm new to this list, and sq.ft. gardening.  I have had a veg.
garden for several years but this year since we were in our new home I
converted the gardens.
We live in Muskoka in Ontario, Canada, which is Zone 4.
I have just planted my corn using this method.  The book I read suggested
planting the corn seed 1ft apart in a circl, with pole beans on the 4
corners and squash or pumpkins in between.  Something like this, the x's are
corn, the B's pole beans and the S squash.  Hope this helps.   Sharon In
