I will definitely check it out. For now, I might try a few tomato plants in pots - any advice for me? There is nothing better than plucking a still-warm tomato off the vine! Thanks, too, for visiting. Hi Gretchen,

I planted my first square-foot garden last year and it did really well! There's very few weeds if you do it right and very easy for kiddos to help out. You also don't have to water as much as regular row cropping-which helps the environment. (You can find more info on this method out there in cyber space!) We planted our first seeds on April 1st of this year but where I live it has been so cold lately that the seedlings are growing VERY slowly. We will plant the rest of it this weekend so we can have crops through the summer. Have you tried square foot gardening? I planted my first square-foot garden last year and it did really well!
