Square Foot Garden

Wow!! Your little garden is really coming along!! Is it too early for tomatoes and peppers? They prefer to be put out when it's warmer or if you put them out now, take a gallon milk carton and cut the bottom off and place the top part over the plant to help keep it warm. We used to do that when we put our tomatoes out early. Keep us posted on how it's doing!!

Hi Diane! We have our tomatoes and peppers, and I'm just waiting till tomorrow when it will be warmer (Tues night) than last night or tonight. If it stays above 45, they can be left uncovered. It is supposed to be below 45 tonight, but above the rest of the week. So I'm going to go ahead and put them out. I want them out early so that I can harvest some tomatoes (hopefully) before we leave for vacation in mid/late May. I know I'll have to cover them (hubby has 5 gallon buckets) a few times, but at least they will have a head start!

That is terrific! I can't wait to see things growing. What a clever idea.

It's looking good, Gayle!!! I'm anxious to see how everything grows!!

I was not feeling good yesterday and today (just a bad cold) so I didn't plant the tomatoes and peppers yet, but hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow. I also got some cilantro and I'm going to put in some rosemary and summer squash.

I love summer squash!!!

I had a garden in MN, tomatoes, green peppers, carrots, squash, green beans, and yes, black eyed peas and okra. Loved it.
My yard has too much shade for a garden here. Have tried to plant a few things in my courtyard but the squirrels eat everything.
Can't wait to watch yours grow.
