Our biggest worry with square foot gardening was that things would be too crowded, too shaded and too…. everything.   Well, so far it’s doing great.  So far the only casualty has been sage.   We have no idea why that died.   The other has been basil, but they’re not dead, only growing much slower than usual – probably because they’re a little shaded.   Everything else is healthy and thriving.

We’ve already had some beans which were really good.  So good that for a while, they didn’t make it into the house — we just ate them off the vine.  When they did start getting to the house, we put them in small candy dishes and at them that way.  Man, were they good!

We have quite a few little squash coming in.   We were a bit concerned that the “vegetable garden” between our front yard and the neighbor’s might not be attractive, but we think it is, happily.  

We haven’t pulled anything out yet that has “finished” and replaced it with something new, but that’s supposed to be one of the great attributes of square foot gardening.  We’ll keep you posted.
