Papa's Garden

Cumbers from Papa's garden. I can't seem to learn how to upload the pictures to they are in order. David finally has his square foot garden going again. We use to have 5 squares along the North fence, but they grew more grass then anything.
David used cement block to build his 12 x 4 foot garden. (One day I might do use block to fix my fence too.) Anyways......I like this garden because I can sit on the edge and watch David work.

Here is a better look at how the garden is divided into 1 x 1 foot squares. The idea is you plant certain plants in each square. When the plant is done producing, or dies, you pull it up and plant something else.

The string bean plants are growing up the trellis that is over 6 feet tall. David had melons growing along the back trellis but we ate the 2 little watermelons and now he started growing something else
David is excited about this garden and Donovan loves to go out with Papa and help him.
