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? Let us know in the comments.

Garden Harvest. I planted a small garden this year: 2 tomato plants, 1 cucumber, 1 pepper plant that sadly didn’t make it, and 1 butternut squash. My butternut plant yielded nine beautiful squashes. I have toned down my gardening in recent years. My Frugal Shenanigans! Way more than last year.

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. I was nearly panicked to think of a summer without growing cantaloupes, but I just didn't know where I was going to plant them. Enter the Square Foot Gardening method.

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.

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. The plants looks healthy and there are at least 5 melons growing.

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. It is the most invasive plant known to man! My plants benefited from the new soil too.

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.
