I have been trying for years to add more fruit to my garden space. The sweetest, most tasty cantaloupe I have ever eaten was from my garden. The plants take up so much space and grew out of my box and spilled into the yard. The plants dried up. Raspberries I bought these plants at a yard sale last year.

I bought some raspberry plants at a yard sale in May 2010. They survived last summer even though they were practically overrun by some other viney plants , but they didn't produce any fruit. It has been very dry here since June and I have been watering the plants when I water my very productive square foot garden.

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.

I planted two cantaloupe plants back then and so far I have gotten 5 melons. I think I paid about $3 dollars for each plant, so that comes to $1.20 It kept the plants contained and prevented them from growing all over my yard. How is your garden doing? a melon at the moment, vs. paying about $2.50

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. It was hard work and there was an initial expense, but I knew I wouldn't have to deal with the weeds any more and I knew my plants would love it.

I planted 4 squares worth in my square foot garden and we have had them twice for dinner so far. I just put 5 cups in my freezer and many young beans are still on the plants. I wasn't always a huge fan of green beans. If you aren't growing green beans, you might want to consider it. How do you preserve green beans?

But I had never considered planting the crunchy vegetable until I came upon a 6-pack of celery plants this past spring as I was shopping for the rest of my vegetables. I planted them in my square foot garden in the spring and I am now starting to harvest it. With 6 plants, we'll never eat that much before it goes bad.

I was just starting to garden, and quite frankly I had no idea what a compost was until I saw the ad for the seminar. I don't really time myself, but when the compost is crumbly and dark brown, I add it to the garden or flower beds. Unfortunately, my bins are in a full sun corner of my garden. Do you have a compost?

Plant trees and bushes in the yard to provide shade on the house, suggests Bankrate. Plant your garden so that sunlight can still get into the house, but diffusely, so it isn’t shining directly into the house. Install Ceiling Fans.

Mom had a vegetable garden and grew sweet corn. There is a plant called poke that the mountain folks used for greens, but the kids had another use for that plant. All they had to do was find some pony poop and plant it! We had a coal stove at home, but my brother and my shared bedroom was just a few feet from the stove.
