| Well, I did not "see" it as working ( come on, 9 green beans per sq ft?) but you folks showed so many pretty gardens that I had to try it.
I started out with one little bed ( while playing with the potato bins) and it has definitely proven itself to me ... so here I go ;) Just wanted to say Thanks! as the expansion and amazement continues. The drought hangs on here ( listed as Extreme); yet I am on my way to eat my second mess of Contender green beans that I would not have had except for this method ( the field planted ones are just starting to bloom and not but 4-6 inches tall). Just wanted to say Thanks! and keep the pictures a flowing!

| Your beds look so nice! Your more established bed looks incredible! I love the new beds with all the little sprouts! |

| Thanks for sharing Cozy. I see you're slowly converting your field into SFG. That's a bit more space than any small town would need under the SFG system, but I think you'll be very happy with the beds you've got now. They look amazing! And please share how your potatoes turned out. I just added the second to last board to mine and added 10 cubic feet of Mel's Mix to the bins, hehe and I should add more. Look at my Yukon Golds... |

| Thanks lab12. I've had the book for several years but didn't really think it possible. You can see in the second pic ( 5/25) that I hadn't even cut the mason twine spool off -> still skeptical but getting more intrigued. By the time that the beans started blooming, I was in love! Sinfonian, your taters look Fantastic! We had 7-10 days of dangling around 100 and I thought mine were done but lately we have had a spell of mid-upper 80s and the All Blue and Red Pontiac have started blooming again. The Yukons that got to 5 ft have yet to show a flower. This is one of the garden spots at the house. The fields are prepared for rain but still wanting. Which makes this method even more appealing to me. |
