My Square Foot Garden Today
In my last post I said I would post a picture of my square foot garden. Here it is! The kids and I just took this picture an hour ago. The lettuces and spinach are doing quite well, as are the Swiss Chard and green onions. The carrots are growing even though they aren’t really visible in the picture. For some reason they grow really slowly. I planted half of this garden (8 squares) on April 1st and the other half on May 1st. My reasoning was that then I would get to have salad for a longer period of time. When I harvest all of one square I will replant with another crop after adding a bit more compost for nutrients.
I can’t wait to harvest the first square of mesclun next week. I think you are supposed to harvest that particular type of lettuce while it is still young and small. We should have a good salad that cost us pennies!
