My garden looks wonderful! Thank you Lord for the blessed rainfall. I am hoping to have a bounty of fresh vegetables. Time to start checking all the canning jars!! This is my first year using the SF method and I have to admit, I was skeptical trying to grow so many items in such a small space, but the plants appear to be thriving. I already have baby squash and tiny tomatoes and all the peppers are loaded with blooms. Next year, I believe I will add more boxes. I planted the following items and I will post updates on how they produce in case anyone else is thinking about experimenting with this concept:
Carrots (red, purple and white)
Lettuce (bib, red ruffle, romaine)
Scarlett Runner Beans (notice the pretty red flowers in the photos)
Purple Runner Beans (turn green when cooked)
Black-eyed peas
Butter Beans
Holstein Beans (first time trying these--they're black & white like the cow)
Strawberries
Onions (red and Texas Sweet)
Cabbage
Broccoli
English Peas
Cucumbers
Squash
Corn
Watermelons
Cantaloupes (Tigger Melons)
If all goes as planned, I will be a canning fool by June :-)
