Have you visited the sq. ft. garden website?

Not recently. I'm using his original book. That will be something to look into for next year.

I remember visiting my grandmother (father's side) on the ranch when I was a child. I was so impressed that when she cooked dinner (lunch) she cooked WHOLE ears of corn. My own mother always cut the cobs in 2, or 3, pieces. I thought grandma must have been RICH to serve whole cobs of corn and to let everyone have as many as we liked.

My daughter bought his new updated book too. He no longer amends the soil, just put down equal amounts of Mel's mix, and don't worry about testing for PH. The website has tips for growing each vegetable and questions and answers section.
