Fresh Veggies

Texasbelle · 05-26-2007, 10:40 AM

T'belle only has a few tomatoes this year. Daddybelle and I had a few other projects we wanted to focus on this summer so we did not do the full garden unfortunately.

Isaac, why are you letting him steal tomatoes? Shouldn't he have to help do the weeding if he is going to eat the fruit of the vines?

My tomatoes are kicking butt, as are my beans and peppers. My okra on the other hand has had a rabbit problem. I happen to like fried swamp chicken though.

Wow! These are nice pictures!! I love the way a fresh garden smells. Isaac - yours is nice, too, though Alan's got you beat on those rows. How 'bout the flavor of those vegies? Can't beat homegrown.

Well technically my garden is just an over-sized "square foot garden" popularized by Mel Bartholomew

http://www.google.com/search?q=Mel+B...re+foot+garden

I bought Mel's book back in the early 80's and haven't plowed a row since! There are several ideas behind these type of "french beds". One is that you don't have to step inside the garden, so the soil stays "fluffy". The farthest reach to pluck a tomato is 2.5 feet inside the garden. Same for weeding. Also the yield is high using a smaller space. The concept works on patios which is how I got started.

If interested I encourage you to visit the square foot garden site at:

Then come back and chat about it!
