Instead, you broke your budget buying every gadget from the big box gardening store – not to mention the pricier mature plants and the chemicals to make them grow faster and produce more. I now grow almost all of the vegetables and some of the fruits my family eats through the year. Talk to experienced gardeners in your area.

It is my most favorite plant to grow in my garden, but the last two years, they have taken over my small little garden box and spilled into my yard. Enter the Square Foot Gardening method. Last summer, I converted my 4 X 8 box to a Square Foot Garden and I was very pleased with the results.

There really is nothing like the experience of eating something that you have just picked fresh from your own garden. Gradually, the home veggie garden became obsolete. Gardening takes time, energy, patience and commitment as well as some basic skills and knowledge. However, the tide has turned again.

We planted, tended and harvested from a vegetable garden even when we rented a quadraplex. I came from a long line of farmers, who always had gardens. If you give the same care to you finances that you give your garden, both should grow. Most gardens and landscapes are best with a variety of plantings. So do finances.

The weather this past weekend was gorgeous, so I took advantage of it and finally planted my vegetable and herb garden. I converted to a square foot garden in 2010 and it really changed the way that I garden. It is an efficient way of gardening. I referred to my garden notes from 2011 to plan this year.

We spent this past weekend, cleaning up my square foot garden. As you can see, it needed some attention: Some of the 'weeds' in the picuture is the mint that I naively planted 10 years ago when we built my garden box. I converted the box to the square foot garden method until 2 years ago. Have you opened up your garden yet?

Cantaloupe is one of my most favorite things to grow in the garden. In years past, the plants took over my garden and spilled into the yard , so I changed my planting strategy for the melons this year and planted upward , not at ground level. Thank you for supporting Family Balance Sheet! Do you plant melons vertically?

I spent a lot of time this past spring shoveling out the old clay dirt that was in my garden and replacing it with the mix that is recommended in the book, Square Foot Gardening. My yard and garden is their 24 hour buffet. Upon showing my tomato to my fellow gardening neighbor, she told me that she was having the same problem.

Last year, I chronicled my box garden conversion from random planting to the more calculated method, known as Square Foot Gardening. I had great success, but at the end of the season, I vowed that in 2011, I was going to replace all of the dirt in my box with new soil following the Square Foot Gardening recipe for a soil mix.
