Square Foot Gardening

Crazy busy is all I can say!  I’m on my way to my midwife appointment which are everyother week right now and chiropractor in between.  Pretty soon I’ll be over there every week and it’s feeling like a little much.  But I have many friends who are in much worse shape than I am and I’m so blessed with a DH that can work from home on the days I go to the doctor, so childcare isn’t  a problem.  But that’s not why I popped in today.  It’s to give you my favorite links on Sqarefoot gardening!

I’ve had many lovely tips pointing me to square foot gardening for small spaces, and it is one of my favorite gardening theories.  I really recommend the new revised edition of Mel Bartholomew’s book Square Food Gardening.   It has tips in it that make the idea more doable for those of us not physically able to double dig a garden by hand.  I also found out that Sam’s Club now carries snap together square foot gardening kits at the best prices around.  I don’t have a membership, but I’ll be calling my friends that do for a tag-along trip!  Without further rambling, here are my favorite links to help inspire, plan, and execute an effective garden:
