Square Foot Gardening Update # 11 June 5th

I left for a week and look what happened!!!  Remember last week when I said my pumpkins were thriving?

Now they are over-taking!  Oh well, it's fun to watch them grow.

My husband had to mow around them--

Uh-oh as my daughter would say!

The other Uh-oh, is that some squash bugs started to eat my zucchini plants.  I decided to take them out because the cucumbers still looked okay.  I am going to plant petunias in their place to hopefully continue to ward those nasty pests off!

Now, onto more growth--

We've got tomatoes sprouting:














The beans are sprouting--
I guess I can pick some lettuce soon or do I wait?

Lastly, we have been enjoying fresh picked sugar snap peas everyday!  They are so delicious.  Next year I'll plant them in a better place, but they have done really well at climbing our trellis.  I love, love, love them!

Okay, so what next?  Should I plant more beans?  What other things do you plant when the weather gets HOT?

  1. Those pumpkins will take over the world. A few years ago, the neighbor's pumpkins invaded our yard.

    I'm seriously jealous. I want homegrown tomatoes.

    Maybe watching your progress will inspire me to get started with my own square foot garden come Sept/Oct (beginning of our growing season).

  2. Your garden is amazing! Our tomatoes contracted the wilting blight. I am so upset seeing how we started them from seeds to avoid this mess. Oh well, you win some and you lose some.

    By the way, the Strawberry Fruit Bars is your recipe :) I just didn't have the time earlier to link back to your blog. I've done it now :) Thanks, they were so delicious!
