Adventures in Square Foot Gardening
Round two for the squares that were harvested as well as the addition of a new tomato! We wound up replacing 6 squares total – one each zinnia and marigold that didn’t grow, and squares for the spinach, arugula, radish that were harvested. The final square was a replacement for failed oregano.
You’ll notice that most of these seeds are from GrowJourney. This is a seed of the month club right here in Greenville, SC. …
First round of squares are done and replaced! It is week 8 and the radishes, arugula and spinach are all ready to eat.
We also had our first cucumber yesterday!…
A midweek report. Little white butterflies are pollinating the garden. They particularly like the brussel sprouts and the tomatoes.
Still haven’t decided about the squash blossoms, but we surely do have a lot of them! The zucchini are growing really quickly as well. Better get ready for these!…
Could it be time to eat? Week 7 and we’re trying the first harvest from our garden! Radishes have grown and I took outside leaves from arugula, romaine, and nasturtium. I tried the radish greens, but didn’t care for the taste – too bitter. Take a look:
The radish looked more like a carrot – a lovely purple/red carrot! …
Week 6 and the squash is growing! Underneath the prickly leaves grows a small zucchini. YAY!At the end is a squash blossom. I’ll have to research how to harvest these (or if I should). I think they’ll be great stuffed with cheese.
The rest of the garden is coming right along too! …
