Hi Lynne!
I just discovered square-foot gardening
and am really anxious to try it. Glad to hear it’s as easy as it looks
cause I’m a newbie to gardening. What did you use to make the box?Wood
or something else? If wood, what size…2×6?Next question…did you get plants and
start them inside, or seeds, and how early in the season did you start them?Sorry, have lotsa questions. Any help
would really be appreciated!Bonnie

I started square-foot gardening last year and have
been amazed at howeasy and fun it has been. I grew different types of lettuce and would
clip leaves each day for a mixed green salad, added cherry tomatoes
also from the 4×4 area and had tons of other vegies like carrots,
chard, beets, big tomatoes and other stuff. Plus I grew cilantro(love
it!!), parsley and basil(for pesto. I have NEVER gardened before and
was surprised at how much fun it is!Plus I did not even dig up the
grass first. I just laid down newspaper and it works as a natural
blocker! This year I plan to build a second frame for flowers! Frugal
and fun! Plus its great for my diet!
