Chloe's 4-H Square-Foot Garden
One of Chloe's 4-H projects this year includes a square-foot garden. Brad and Ben built the frame.
Then, Chloe mixed the dirt following the instructions in the book:
~constructing the "square-foot" dividers:
~She watered the dirt well...
...and then planted seedlings (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, marigolds)
~Then, with Grandmother's and Kievan's help, she planted seeds in the other squares (radishes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and several kinds of lettuces).
Now, a week later, ALL of the seeds have sprouted and are about an inch tall. The seedlings are all about twice as big. Next project: build frame for netting so the tomatoes and cucumbers will climb rather than spread.
