The summer garden season is winding down for me. As I begin to clear out the garden, I am making notes for next year. I have been keeping a garden notebook ever since I started my garden back in the summer of 2002 and it comes in handy year after year. Do you keep a garden notebook? Thanks for reading.

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. Thanks for reading.

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.

Have you seen the Live Butterfly Garden Hatching Kit advertised on TV? The box contains the mesh 'garden' as seen on the box and a coupon to receive 5 caterpillars and food via mail. She waited anxiously all winter to be able to order the caterpillars for the garden. The Butterfly Garden was a lot of fun for my whole family.

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. Thanks for reading. Thank you for supporting Family Balance Sheet!

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.
