We're planting a vegetable garden

It's been years since we've planted a vegetable garden. The last one was at other house in Brookfield and that was in 1988. Since the move back here I have asked Tim each year if we could have a garden....This year he has finally agreed, probably since we have been eating a lot more vegetables. Once again Tim is planning a square foot garden, based on the book Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew.
A square foot garden is a system baed on a grid of 1 foot by 1 foot squares with single seeds or plants placed in the spaces. Climbing and spraling crops like cucumbers, pole beans, squash and tomatoes are grown vertically to save space. This system conserves the amount of space and water needed to grow the maximum amount of food.

Yesterday we went to the store to buy the lumber to make the frames. We have decide to do two 4x8 gardens. So we sat down last night and planned all the vegetables we would plant. Tim has plotted out on paper how the garden will look and what will go in each square. Next post will show the garden.
