Why I bother. (He loved it by the way)

How I do it!

One of our last bunches of radishes from the first batch. I will grow more next year, we really loved these!

The Icicle radishes didn't work out so well. Im not sure if it was the soil, or the conditions, but they didn't plump up like they were supposed to and they got very fibrous. The plants grew like mad and even started bolting! I took them all out the other day because they were really covering the carrots. I wouldn't recommend marking your rows with radishes, at least not in a square foot garden. They really take up too much space.

All of the plants are basically in now. I keep thining I might be able to fit a little bit more, but I guess thats the gardeners addiction. The plants that are in are doing ok. The cuc's I planted are not, but my lemon cucumber transplants are still inside. im going to wait until its really warm before putting them out. I hope they work!

I will post an updated pic of the garden this weekend. Its really starting to fill in. The beets/sunflowers are growing well. My lettuce patch too!

Lots of neighbors stopping by now. We have a popular street to walk on, so I sometimes watch out the window as people walk by, look, look again, look again and stop, and then smile and walk on. Ha!

On our nightly walk the other day I noticed that a recently bought house now has a small (3x12) veggie garden. Im always on the look out for fellow veggie gardeners. One of the neighbors down the street took up all the grass in her front lawn, I thought for sure she was going to put in a raised veggie bed, alas, no, more grass. Boooo!
