Square Foot Garden III
I had incorrectly planted the pumpkin, squash and zucchini in one single square of SFG II. I think you are supposed to use 9 squares and I used just one. Oops. With SFG III I once again broke the rules and went with 3 2′ by 2′ beds. I hope the vegetables will be able to hang over the sides and lay in the rocks and make up for the missing 5 squares. The garden area came out nice and used a lot of junk that was on the lot including old bench legs. The squash struggled all week to recover from the transplant. It was a lot of touch and go.

SFG I is a mixture of death and new growth this time of year. Cucumbers are fizzling out. Basil is skyrocketing. Tomatoes are highly successful. Many squares have been replanted with the mid-summer crop.
SFG II is at that wonderful stage of full bore growth. I accidently dropped some Swiss chard seeds in the carrots. SFG II gets a lot better light. I will try to grow the peppers and onions here since they failed in SFG I.
