Thinking inside the box...

When we moved into our home, we knew we wanted to grow veggies, but what we didn't realize how back-breakingly difficult it was going to be. I've always seem to grow more vigorous produce in containers, so when I came across the book "Square Foot Gardener", I knew that would be perfect for me! We started by making a salsa theme garden in front of Ed's Taco Shack. And now we have about 10 theme boxes. The Asian Theme box is the most bountiful right now with a pound of sugar snap peas every other day. The daicon radishes are beginning to bolt. The second box isn't really a theme, it's just cilantro and it's amazing! Other themes: Movie Night Snacks (strawberry popcorn, corn, and edamames), salad bar box, root vegie box, and our salsa box.
