I’m almost 2 months in to my summer vegetable garden and I thought I’d give you another update. Are your veggie garden’s looking this green? It’s so fun to watch as something grow from a tiny little seed or plant to turn into all this.
In my small square foot garden, I was worried that some plants would over power others. So far it’s been a pretty good garden plan. I did trim the potato plants a little, cutting back a few of the non-flowering shoots that were shading the beans, giving them more sun. But the rest seems to be doing well, starting to flower and sprout!
How are your vegetable gardens coming? I’ll check back in when it’s time to harvest. The peas are getting close.

Bravo! I’m so ridiculously involved with our veggie growing this year! I’m loving it! I’ve squeezed in as much as is possible and have tomato plants hanging upsidedown from the eaves of the house and I’m growing corn for the first time (very exciting for me, because you can’t really grow corn in the UK). I have sugar snap peas growing up the corn and courgettes around the bottoms (Native american three sisters planting or so I’m told). Among other more boring crops, I’ve got a purple pepper plant! Wheeeeee! As you can tell, I’m a little overexcited about it all. Lovely to see your family growing food too!
It’s always interesting to see people’s gardens in other parts of the country. Mine is just about done. The heat has made things stop setting blossoms. While we got tomatoes months ahead of you guys, I’ll be jealous soon when mine are all gone.
Your garden looks beautiful!
Fantastic garden, it’s so exciting to see everything grow! Karen

So I do have a square foot garden…. but I’m feeling really bad right now. This year has been my worst year yet, and I don’t know why? Yours is looking great! Nice job. Will you come help?
I wish I had done a garden this year…I’m too busy trying to learn the growing season here in Texas!
I love summer gardening. All the fresh veggies and home grown goodness. Your garden looks delicious.
I like this. I want one for me!!!!

I have been doing a square foot garden for about 3 years and this year I have added 3 more boxes so now I have 5 boxes. You Garden looks great!
