LET THE #SQUAREFOOTGARDEN BEGIN

Aaseeds_003
These are still desperate times and more than ever, a square foot garden, is a good idea.  

Last year, for instance, I was able to take a nice bite out of my grocery bills by growing my own produce. 

Living in South Texas is a bonus.  The growing season here is so long that we can almost have a garden year round.

So I ended up at the hardware store looking for organic seeds.  Last year I went cheap and purchased my seeds from the big box retailer made in China place.  I had a lot of no show-ers; no grow-ers.  I intend to be more successful this year.

Found the seeds I wanted and now I plan the layout of my three square foot gardens.  I have 36 square feet of gardening space total.

For the past month I have been purchasing the soil, 3 big bags at a time, in order to spread the cost of that purchase out to a reasonable amount.

Next week I will get busy and decide if I want to add more boxes to my layout as I will have more space once I cut down an old, dying tree. 

It's time to start planning your OWN garden.  Let's do it together.
