The kids have been begging for a couple years for a vegetable garden. Because the ground here is contaminated, I've told them no in the past. But last year we picked up the Square Foot Gardening book, and this year we're going to turn the deck off of our dining room into a teeny tiny garden. We will have one 3'x6' bed, and two 2'x3' beds... plus two 5 gallon pots, and two Mexican strawberry pots. We're only going to have 2-3 square feet of each veggie, but I told them we would try whatever they wanted to grow, and this is what they want to plant: Watermelon - the small ones Tomatoes Red & Yellow peppers Lemon & Lime basil Cilantro Lavender Salad onions Carrots Pumpkins - the teeny tiny ones Lettuce Cauliflower Broccoli Pole beans Red potatoes and Strawberries I can't believe how ambitious they want to be... but with any luck, it will all grow okay. My husband & son are making the garden beds & trellises next week, and my mom had most of the seeds on hand & is donating 2 tomato & 2 pepper plants so we'll be all ready to plant, come Memorial Day. I just hope I don't kill everything! I have two black thumbs when it comes to vegetables. love, mom
