We are trying out Square Foot Gardening this year. I just bought the book earlier this spring, and we've done what it says. It's very easy and so conducive to our suburban backyard. I picked a colander full of beans yesterday, and we had our first meal tonight. They were wonderful! My 2yo helped me to snip them on the front porch, and we gobbled up many of them raw. It's so good to eat from your own garden! I also picked 2 gigantic zucchinis, which we'll have tomorrow for lunch. I went ahead and planted a second round of radishes, lettuces, chard, and beets today for a cool fall crop. I have a cool fall crop of brocolli going and they are looking good. We've had a rough year keeping out rabbits, but we've already figured out a plan for next year. We only have 2 boxes, but plan to expand to atleast 4 next year. I think that I will only really have enough for eating this summer, so next year I'd like to plan to have more for putting up.
