Square Foot Gardening

1st SFG plan not sure if I have too many tall plants

14 years ago

I tried to put together my plan tonight before dh builds my boxes this weekend. Any input is greatly appreciated. I have never done SFG and haven't done any veggie gardening in a long time so I am excited!

Thanks

Amy

Amy, I'm assuming that the squiggly lines represent trellises, and you're planning on growing tall/vining things on both sides? I hope you don't mind, but I made a drawing, to best share my opinion. The red lines represent trellises...Oh! and when I scanned the drawing so it could be displayed on here, some of the lines were cut off....sorry!

Thanks so much EG. That totally helps! And yes you were right the squiggles were my trellis and I will plant on both sides. Your suggestions work fine for me so I really appreciate it. Thanks so much for taking the time!
