    I have gardened for years, but this year, I redesigned my garden with 4x4 square foot beds. Then, in May, I looked up square foot gardening and found your video. I am growing plants vertically more than in the past. I followed your advice about pulling unproductive late summer veggies and planting fall crops. All I can say is, the garden is yielding SO MUCH food. I had so many cucumbers (and a few more coming yet, and maybe another crop), and the tomatoes have done so well. I have large cabbages out there too. We had big delicious cantaloupes. I had to learn how to can, and my freezer is stuffed. Square foot gardening is a game changer.

    I've been practicing SFT for 15 or 20 years.
    I grow in raised beds of varying dimensions and shapes. Over time, I learned how to sow my seeds and plant my seedlings without precisely measuring each square foot. It is amazing how many vegetables you can grow in such small spaces.

    I just discovered SFG and am so excited to begin. I quit gardening many years ago due to lack of time. I'm retired now and am ready to begin again. I am a planner and my DR table is covered with grid paper and charts. I have access to good aged manure from my son's farm. Now I will pray for good rains!

    I really enjoyed this video. I am a new Gardner, last year was my first year growing anything ever. I was a hot mess. We had a huge flood that ruined everything except my green beans and a few tomatoes I had in pots. I didn't give up, I had some seeds in trays and started over. It was later in the season, but I got so many tomatoes, a few peppers and about 2 meals worth of greenbeans. This year I moved all my raised beds to higher ground. Buy this video has helped me figure out what I need to do as far as planting. I love the square foot method of gardening I will be using this in all my beds. Thanks for always having great content.

    Lots of great tips James and crew!
    - Wood and space is a premium. We reused our old patio "Crazy paving" slabs to build out main bed. Sometimes to build a box you have to think outside of it.
    - Google sheets is a great free planner to record planting times and tabs allow you to record notes like weather, etc, which can help you the following year.
    - Free printable graph paper also allows you to draw you garden to scale to plan your space for your specific areas
    - Find a branch and mark measurements to eye ball you spacings
    - Branches on their own also make great stakes for plants. Branch cuttings are great for pre filling taller raised beds.
    - There is always something that can be reused before recycling
    - When a weed becomes a weed. Dandelions are early bloomers to attract wildlife. Remove the head when the flower dies to prevent spreading. Over wintered turnips wanted to be a plant, so they were another early bloom. Don't ignore hedges for birds. Reberis flowers in May so not only attracts pollinators but later on is alt food for birds.

    • @RunninUpThatHillh
      @RunninUpThatHillh Год назад +1

      I'd personally never buy wood and do raised beds. Ya branches are superior; branches and stumps bring in beneficial insects, etc. This whole thing can be scrapped for a pile for hugelkultur. It also solves the problem of needing to be watered. The weeds can chop and drop to maintain a mulch.

    James, I highly recommend that you try the Whole Foods recipe for Red Lentils & Spinach Soup. It calls for 2 cups of spinach but I used 4 cups. Uses up my spinach so I don't waste any as I follow the Charles Dowding method of harvesting the outer leaves. My homegrown Olympia spinach leaves are tender even when they are larger. Even my non vegetarian friends love this soup! Really enjoy your channel. Thanks for all the joy you & Tuck bring to me.
