I'm doing my own variation of square foot gardening, and we FINALLY planted our first seeds in the ground just now! :) We planted corn, sunflowers (for the cukes to climb), carrots, beets and some nasturtiums (for pest control). We still have quite a bit more to plant, but some will be started inside (late on that too!) and some will have to wait until after the rain we're supposed to get tomorrow. We had such a special time though. The kids planted most of the squares by themselves (with my guidance), and when we were done with what we had for today, we each prayed that God would bless it. I hadn't planned on the prayer, that was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, I'm sure from God Himself. :) Jonathan prayed that the sunflowers would grow as high as a skyscraper. LOL! Jayla told God that she's wanted a garden for a really long time. :) I loved it!
