Geeekygirl’s Garden Blog

To be honest I’m a little turned off. I was really excited about learning more about this method of gardening but I just don’t connect with how the author writes. He explains things like the people reading his book aren’t very bright. Just because it says one thing on the back of the seed package doesn’t mean I’m going to follow it exactly. I’m going to look at my garden and work with the soil and space restrictions I have and work with it.

I also think that part of what I like about gardening is the beauty of it. If I had to plant everything in square beds with grids on it I wouldn’t find the backyard nearly as pretty. While I defintely think there’s a time and place for being efficient, I’m not sure if the garden is it.

I still haven’t finished the book yet, but I’m hoping I’ll like more of what he has to say.

It’s really cold and snowy outside right now and I’m really missing the garden. This morning I got an email from the library saying that the Square Foot Gardening book I had on hold is in and I picked it up this afternoon. I’ve never read it before so I’m excited to learn. It sounds like a great way to garden for me cause our backyard is so small. Maybe it’ll cheer me up a bit.

I’ll let you know what I think after I finish it.
