Take it from me It's hip to be square" (Huey Lewis). Sunday, February 27, 2011. Bounty from my garden. Against all odds we managed to have our first meal from my square foot garden. In spite of the army of green worms, the colourful 'Jiminy Crickets' and the vervet monkeys, I was able to harvest a handful of baby sweet corn, egg plant, peppadews, spring onions, garlic chive, baby tomatoes, basil and wild rocket. I made three little jars of basil and rocket pesto using two cups of basil and wild rocket, a...

Take it from me It's hip to be square" (Huey Lewis). Sunday, February 20, 2011. Heat, caterpillars and vervet monkeys! Its not only farmers who have to battle the elements and nature. Many challenges face a Square Foot Gardener. After spraying the cabbages and brinjals (egg plants) with Margaret Robert's magic muti, the worms disappeared and new leaves started to sprout from the centre of the cabbage plants. I don't really know what to do. Should I abandon growing anything that monkeys like to eat? There...

Take it from me It's hip to be square" (Huey Lewis). Friday, January 21, 2011. Battling an army of baby caterpillars! I had to help babysit my little grand-daughter this week and although my dear husband did his best to water and tend to my veg patch, an army of little green caterpillars hatched and have almost devoured all the plants! The cucumber vines. I've got two hairy baby cucmbers clinging to life on the vines. The blurb says that it "targets destructive leaf-eating larvae of Lepidopterous spp....

Square Foot Gardener: Hot+Rain+Sun = Fast growing seedlings
http://squarefootgardener-sil.blogspot.com/2011/01/hotrainsun-fast-growing-seedilings.html
Take it from me It's hip to be square" (Huey Lewis). Sunday, January 2, 2011. Hot Rain Sun = Fast growing seedlings. I can't believe how fast everything in the SFG box is growing! Those sweet corn plants - especially those that get the most sun - have doubled in size in 10 days. The gem squash is starting to go on walk-abouts and I'm not sure what I'm going to do about them. The basil started bursting into flower but I've nipped them all off in the bud and new shoots have sprouted all over the bush.
