Garden Update

My garden is doing great, for a first attempt at Square Foot Gardening. I laid out everything in a journal first, and then planted. I have a (almost) 4 ft x (almost) 4 ft box with tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, bush beans, bell peppers, carrots, lettuce and onions. I just found out today my dog dug up one of the peppers. Can I hurt her bad? Just kidding.

Then I have a 4 ft x 8 ft box with corn, tomatoes, bush beans, peas, cucumbers, carrots, and lettuce but we had to remove the zucchini. It just got too big and was over shadowing the lettuce. We have multiples of the beans and lettuce and tomatoes in this one. We moved the zucchini to a small box that's about 18 in x 22 in. I already have a really small zucchini on it. My bush beans are blooming, or really close to it. My tomatoes are almost to the point of having to have suckers removed.

Luckily I had my husband catch the gardening bug, because I've had bronchitis for 2 weeks. I just found out a couple days ago and got on medicine for it. He's been weeding and watering for me, and checking them every day. I said you can't see the dramatic growth rate when you look EVERY day. I walk out there once a week and go, "WOW!"

I can't wait to start picking vegetables.
