Square Foot Garden Update

Box number one looks good, but compared to the other two, it's lagging behind a bit. If you remember from my other posts, this box got Walmart compost and peat from a local landscaping and gardening store. Since it seems to be lacking something, I allowed my hubby to put a little Miracle Grow on it when he watered. We'll see if that helps.


Box two is looking good, but my cauliflower doesn't seem to be doing anything other than make big leaves. Greg (the hubby) thinks I got them out too late in the season. He's probably right. Same thing with the peas. I decided to pull them up, cause they just weren't behaving like they should. The Cilantro and Parsley are going to town though! And on the other side of the fence....


My zucchini are doing great!!! We just pulled a few off today. They were a little on the small side, but that's what we wanted, so the skin would be more tender. The plants are just covered in blooms!!!


And, last but not least, the third box. My green beans! The package I bought said Blue Lake. I thought I was getting bush beans, but oddly, some of them seem to be vining. It's weird. It looks like bush and vine all mixed together. I'm not sure what to do about the vining ones. My father-in-law uses tall poles to make a tepee type structure for his to grow up, so I may try something like that. He always has wonderful success with his garden!

Our tomatos are in our regular garden, and that's what I'm most excited about. I can't wait to have some fried green tomatoes!!!!
