Also, I transplanted the Tristar strawberries (pic 3) so I can take down the rest of the SFG. I’m regretting not adding...

Thanks to the lovely weather in my area and a lot of research/phone calls, I was able to work in the garden for a couple hours straight today. I’ve been holding off on planting in the SFG because of how cold it’s been and because the garden needed compost worked into it before I coul...Sunny 14°C / 58°F -

But trust me – we busted hump on Sunday and got all of my goals for the day completed – with time for a beer afterwards! I am happy to announce – We have plants in the...

Sunny 31°C / 88°FI actually made some headway today in the garden. I was finally able to get to the tools and materials for making the amazing $15 trellis (I think I found that link on the SFG group here on Folia). I was only able to get enough conduit to make one, but the tomatoes can wait another week. It wa...

Sunny 26°C / 79°FI just spent almost 3 hours getting the straw (and subsequent weeds) cleaned off square foot garden, burying 50 feet of soaker hose, and planting my first round of lettuce, arugula and carrots. My back aches, and I know I need to start the tomatoes and some flowers yet tonight, but I feel exhila...

33°C / 91°FI’m have a question about cantaloupe and honeydew melon vines in a square foot garden. Mine are ALL OVER the place! I have them growing up a trellis to keep them off the ground and from overtaking my other plants. I’m wondering…should I be pruning some of the vines or not? I ...

Overcast 26°C / 79°FI’m behind by about a week, so this is the shortest version I could come up with. In my neverending battle against the aphids and their dairy farming ants, I bought some live ladybugs. About 1/4 of the package were dead, but the rest went to work. (pic 1) It was especially delightful to ...

I am sad to say I’ve given up on my ‘Mini Belle’ peppers. Last night I went up to bed, only to discover my cat had knocked down the pepper pots (which haven’t sprouted yet, despite warmth and an attempt at keeping them moist). I’m frustrated and disgusted. I put t...20°C / 68°F -

Storms 24°C / 75°FToday started out BEAUTIFUL, and the afternoon was lovely. I was out planting carrots and arugula and transplanting two more Roma tomatoes that looked at least healthy, if not totally ready, to go in the ground. Then as evening approached and my bf and I were walking home from dinner, it started...

Cloudy 14°C / 57°FAfter losing my last journal when I hit “enter” and the webpage reloaded (grrrrrr!), I’m trying to recreate the journal and milestones. I hate computers sometimes. In the square foot garden, the lettuces are almost all sprouting. I may have to replant a couple here and there t...
