The spring square-foot garden was planted and doing very well... until the hail storm hit last Saturday. Now we are waiting to see, what, if anything can salvaged. We are still continuing to receive rain everyday, so we can't even plant the snow peas, beans, carrots, and radishes.
We have been referencing the All New Square Foot Gardening book by Mel Bartholomew. Since we just began gardening last spring, we are all learning as we go! I have been pulling articles from different magazines also for more local gardening tips to help us.
My teens have mostly enjoyed the hail storm and the damage to the garden. I know, not what any homeschool mom wants to admit! At this point: Melissa is my photographer, Michael played pack mule and carried the heavy soil bags and helped me plant the initial seeds/plants, and Matt helps in the watering. I'm sure if my teens were elementary-age kids, they would be more excited in the "growing" process.
Now the question is:
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.
