My new "Square Foot Garden" was delivered and installed this week. I'm ready for fresh picked salad tonight-oh, perhaps not quite yet, but I'm anxious!
We collaborate with Jill Harris, of Canyon Design, on our Interior Design projects whenever possible. She's delightful and very talented. Jill has been devising flat "Square Foot Vegetable and Herb Gardens" this year. Because of the limited space in my rear and side gardens, I wanted to place this one on our front terrace.
I dressed up the "box" with fancy iron hinges and elevated it on turned legs, which are going to get a coat of dry brushed periwinkle blue paint this weekend. Instead of the traditional flat box planted in the ground, I decided to use an elevated "stack" to make mine unusual, and conserve space.
Here are the veggies I'm ready to plant! Jill selected various lettuces, brussel sprouts and two varieties of beets for my "Fall" harvest...
Jill can plant about twice as many plants using the "Square Foot" dimensions, as opposed to more traditional vegetable garden layouts. You can see that the top of each of the two levels is divided by 1'-0" dimensions, and the height and depth of the boxes all compute by "one square foot"...delicious!
