Square Foot Gardening

I will never grow vegetable in a traditional rectangular garden again. I've seen the light. SFG's are orders of magnitude more efficient than a regular plot producing far more food, reducing watering and weeds and actually look really great and add structure to a yard. We built twelve this year and plan on doing more next year.

The tomato plants are 7 to 8 feet tall now and loaded with fruit. There are eggplants, nasturtiums, lettuces, zucchini, heirloom beets and about 80 basil plants.




Its hard to get excited about lettuce but this stuff is beautiful and delicious.
