What is it these days you can't get vegetables that taste like vegetables? I've had the toughest time in Texas growing anything but I am determined to try again and after reading blogs I came across Square Foot Gardening. I think this can actually work because you grow above ground in raised beds in a mineral rich soil. I've ordered the book and can't wait to get started. Gardening is a hobby that clears the mind, makes you feel accomplished, and feeds your family natural organic fruits and vegetables.
The basil and lettuce I planted last week has sprouted and today the kids and I decided to plant more seeds in preparation for the boxes I hope to build next week.
We decided to do sugar baby watermelons, cantaloupe, beefsteak tomatoes and cucumbers since these take the longest to harvest and wanted to get a head start.
