We decided to try this year and we have used the principles found in the book All New Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew. We've watered and battled slugs. Here are the results:
Lettuce:
Carrots:
Peas:
Tomatoes:
Zucchini:
Bell Pepper:
We've eaten a bunch of the lettuce, some of the peas, green beans and most of the carrots and they have been awesome. We're still waiting on the tomatoes, zucchini and bell pepper. It has been a fun first attempt. We'll tweak it next year, plant a little more maybe. We're pretty proud of our little garden. And let's be honest, Seth has done almost everything so he deserves all the credit.UPDATE: Today's harvest. Yum!

We just started square foot gardening this year too and have LOVED it. I love picking fresh things to eat out of it :)
Looks like a great garden! Hopefully, next year, we'll be ready to do another one. :)
BTW--We had slugs in our garden when we lived in Everett. And we learned that slugs are incredibly attracted to beer. So, we bought mini pie-tins and filled them 1/2 full of the cheapest beer we could find. (It was a 6-pack of mini cans.) The slugs came in droves! And, we kept the beer in our shed with the gardening equipment and taught our kids that it was pesticide.
