These are pictures I took last week of the various 4 sq. ft plots and one picture of the compost box we have been doing for the past 3 years. I don't use pesticides or chemicals in the garden so you will notice holes in some of the plant leaves.

February 4, 2008 - First fruits from the greenhouse - vine ripe cherry tomatoes!

It's winter crop time. We have beets and lettuce as well as cabbage. So far the cherry tomato plant is thriving. Here is a picture of the winter square foot garden. You can look around at some of the structures we use such as the back fence where there is a frame with string for bean climbing.

Lots of veggies growing. Squash, several lettuce, tomatoes, lemon cucumber, bell peppers. No gophers in the garden this year, so far. Here's today's pictures.

Today the garden is pretty much planted. Lots of tomatoes, red peppers, squash, beans and peas. Here's 2 pictures from today.
