This year in addition to my over-the-top tomato project, I also established a square foot garden (made popular by the PBS gardening program and the books by Mel Bartholomew, with a recent revision). I wanted to try the extreme case of gardening on my concrete driveway. So I lost a parking space in exchange for a source of fresh veggies and salad greens. Seems fair.
In the photos below, you can see the SFG with plants just emerging from the soil mix and then again about a month later. What a difference a month makes!
Note to the very observant & somewhat curious: yes, I have moved the mower since taking the first picture. I’ve actually mowed three times.
Anybody else doing the SFG thing? Tell me how it goes for you in the comments!
