SQ FT Gardening -take 1

We just started our first set of seeds! I bought a cool self-watering little seed house at Home Depot tonight and came home excited to finally get started on my garden. I am reading the "All New Square Foot Gardening" book by Mel Bartholomew to teach me all I need to know about "growing more in less space".

I went down to Waco this week and bought heirloom organic seeds at Homestead Heritage.

I picked up-

Roma tomatoes- for sauce canning

Beefstake tomatoes- for salads

Yellow Dent Corn- not a "sweet corn"

Summer Squash

Purple Hull Peas

Sugar Snap Peas

Black-eyed Peas

Butternut Squash

I did find my Purple Hull Peas full of weavals when I dropped the bag and it burst open releasing the little beasts. So I gathered up the dropped seeds and threw them and the bag's contents outside into the flower bed. Tomorrow I will turn them under and water... see if they survive since we are not out of frost/freeze danger yet.

Started today Feb 16-

black-eyed peas -36

sugar snap peas -36

I will try to get pics up tomorrow when the planting room is cleaned up and I have day light.
