Tim’s Square Foot Garden Blog

The spring rains have started to fall on my garden and it has also been somewhat cooler than normal.  The forecast is for dryer and much warmer weather towards the end of the week   Due to all of the rain, I have not been able to plant much since my last post of April [...]

The 2008 gardening season is fast coming to an end. Since my last post of early November, there has been a few very hard freezes. In fact, there were a few days where the temperature did not even get above freezing. Most of the rest of the garden that was still growing has since died, [...]

The weather has been relatively warm and very dry for about the last week. It has cooled off today, so I think the cold weather is here to stay. The last cold snap killed off all of the warm season crops, but the cool season crops are still doing fine. The cauliflower [...]

The weather here has turned hot and a dry. I have starting watering some of the plants on a regular basis now. I pulled the onions and I have been curing them over fencing for about one week now. The onion crop was really good with many large sized onions. I suspect it was all [...]

Since it is now about mid-way through the growing season, I thought I would give you a report on how the garden, so far, is doing this year.
