I’m always open for suggestions. I’ve done some regular row gardening in the past with good results. My last two houses both had some land to work with. The house I am in now is on a postage stamp size lawn. We love the house that we are in now, just have to get used to having a small fenced backyard and two Boxer dogs running in the backyard.
I am completely intrigued by the concept of having a squarefoot garden. I bought the “All New” book and love it so far. I am almost finished with it. ( I am so excited about getting started, then I look outside at the snow on the ground, and the weather forcast says more snow, sleet, and freezing rain on Thursday.)
I would like to hear from others that are doing this or are going to and get their ideas and opinions. Look forward to hearing from you.

That would have been and some day will be, my prefered method of gardening.
I used to put my tomatos in the planters that hung of the deck, only I drilled holes in the bottom and planted them upside down so the plants hang….....planted flowers and herbs on the top
surprisingly…........it worked rather well

I’ve been meaning to try the upside down tomaters… wether or not I manage to find a place for those, I’ll be trying the square foot gardening again this year.

I tried the upside down tomatoes last year. It wasn’t worthy of the effort, except that it was a novelty. Yes, we had tomatoes; No, they weren’t very large; No they were few in number; No, they did not survive the wind.
