SFG Square Foot Garden 2015 05 – grape tomato, cold damage, spinach mistake

Square Foot Gardening (SFG)

Welcome to Humbleville !! In this video we will give you an update on the progress of our six 4×4 SFG raised bed garden. We have the start of a grape tomato growing! Find out how I messed up while weeding too early in the spinach squares. See how easy weeding is … so easy even my kids will do it! We had a cold snap in Michigan. Hear how I covered the beds with a tarp on the coldest of nights in May, and witness what I believe to be cold damage to the bean and tomato plant leaves. How did I mess up my experiment of planting strawberry roots? Please continue to join us on our journey by SUBSCRIBING to this channel. It really helps. Thank you and God Bless !!

Genesis 1:11-12
Then God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them”; and it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:29-30

Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so.

SFG Square Foot Garden – Raised beds, soil mix, grid installation, planting

Square Foot Gardening (SFG),

Welcome to Humbleville !!  In this video we will show you how to build your 4 x 4 raised bed to use with the Square Foot Gardening (SFG) method.  Additionally you will see how we mix the soil using the “Mel’s Mix” recipe and fill the raised beds with this rich, light soil.  The square foot grid is a signature piece of the SFG raised beds which not only increase its attractiveness, but also provides you a nice visual way to separate your various crops.  See what our raised beds from last year still look like. Get a glimpse of the recommended trellis structure and the PVC dome frames.  If you have any questions or comments, please do comment below and we will do our level best to respond.  The kids absolutely loved eating the homegrown, garden fresh vegetables right out of the SFG raised beds last year.  Hardly anything actually made it into the house for proper meals.  So this year we are doubling the number of SFG raised beds.  Please continue to join us on our journey by SUBSCRIBING to this channel.  It really helps.  Thank you and God Bless !!
