Square Foot Gardening Thread- Update 7/23/12 - Page 32

Here are pic's of three of my tomato plants in the little 4x8 growhouse DH made for me.  I counted 48 little tomatos growing on the six plants that I have in there.


Here is a close-up of the Roma tomato plant - I had all three labeled as Roma's, but this is the only one that produced the Roma shape.


And this is what we got on Saturday -


I am happy to say that as of Tuesday, the plants in my growhouse are still green and growing.  Just a touch of frost on the top of the plants.

sorry... wrong thread

Hey squarefoot gardeners - I need some advice

 I have mushrooms growing in the soil in my raised bed squarefoot garden.  They have just popped up this spring, in the last couple of weeks.

 I have been using oak lathe for my grids since last spring.   The mushrooms seem to be growing from the soil, but along the edges of the lathe.

Do you think this is anything to worry about?  willl the mushrooms damage the crops?  I had an onion that was surrounded by the mushrooms that I picked.  The outer leaves were mushy, but the inside of the onion seemed good still.

And do you think I should remove the lathe?

Our garden is going great guns!!  These pictures are from a few weeks ago

The beds are planted and producing

Brocoli picked this morning along with asparagus and radishes.  We have been harvesting Romaine and Red sails lettuce along with spinach and onions for spring salads.

The first box is all day lilies.  I had spring blooming bulbs in the end of that second bed.  Iris is also in the third bed.I like to plant flowers at the ends of the beds...perenials and annuals...both for the color and to attract bees to the garden.
