I started a 4x4 square-foot garden this year. So far things seem to be popping up pretty good. I have:
I over-seeded a few squares, so I just had to do some culling (and I probably still need to thin out the carrots). As an experiment, I have transplanted some of the "excessed" vegetables to other locations in my back yard to see how well they do - not well, I suspect, since the unamended soil here is very dense and full of clay.
I have never gardened in my life, so I figure if I get anything edible out of this on my first try, it will be a success.
I have already realized one mistake: I placed the garden under power lines. Which means it gets pelted with bird crap. So far all the plants seem to be thriving nonetheless, but leaves keep withering after the unwelcome dose of "fertilizer."

- Peas
- Basil
- Tomato
