14 years ago

Hi, all! I'm new here, and we're in our second year of square foot gardening. We have 4 4x4 boxes and are trying to figure out how to orient our many vegetables requiring trellises or support of some kind. Last year we did 4 squares of peas/cucumbers along one edge of one box and 4 squares of tomatoes along another edge in another box.
