These are some pictures that were taken as I planted this spring around March here in sunny Gainesviile, FL. I loosely based my garden on the square foot method, although (as you'll see) it has gotten quite wild since then! My daughter Lily helped tons, and the first picture shows the layers of soil before we mixed them together: mushroom compost, florida dirt, pearlite, vermiculite, peat moss, our food scrap compost and cow manure. What a mix! The beds were built from untreated scrap lumber from a pallet makers property. This has been my first successful garden, and although I'm already planning tons of revisions before next season, I'm thankful for every tomato, squash, sweet pea, green bean and broccoli that have come from our land.
