2011 Square Foot Garden Update 5



The garden literally exploded over the last several weeks. Abundant sunshine and rain were the contributing factors. Plenty of tasty salads have been eaten.


WOW!



The next round of crops have been purchased and planted. I simply cant wait to see how these do. I decided to do something a little different this year as far as tomato plants go. I've put both an heirloom and hybrid variety in. The heirlooms have much more flavor and are popular picks at our local farmers market. They are a little more disease prone than the hybrids but the extra taste outweighs that risk. I simply can't wait to compare them in a tomato sandwich test! With extra mayo, salt, and pepper of course....

Check out the pics:
