Announcer: Hello and welcome to today’s show, Linda’s Garden. Today, we’ll be interviewing Linda on her amazing techniques at growing a square-foot garden.
Mike: Good morning and my name is Mike, and I have a special guest today, Linda. Linda, you truly have an amazing garden. Could you let us know how you’ re kind of putting this together?
Linda: Well, thank you, Mike. I have tried various attempts at gardening and with different, um, degrees of success. This spring I took a square-foot gardening class, and I decided to try some of the things I’ve learned. Um, one of the most important things in square-toot gardening is that you choose a good location. You need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunshine. Um, you also need to choose a location that has good drainage, and it should be a convenient location. A garden is a lot more fun if you are walking by and seeing it all the time. Um, you need to decide what kind of containers you want, or, in my case, I used boxes, urn, wooden boxes, and then I divided them up into one-foot squares. And then just decided what I wanted to plant, and based on what the final plant would look like, I had I per square, or maybe 3 per, um, 3 or 4 per square, 12 per square.
Mike: Well, Linda, I’m, I’m ... truly amazed at kind of the architecture of this garden. I’ve noticed these vertical beams. I’ve never seen that before. Could you explain that to us a little bit?
Linda: Well, for example, right here we have some, um, cantaloupe, and cantaloupe take a lot of space when you grow them out on the ground, and I don’t have that much space, and so, I’ve just grow them up. Just grow them vertically, I’ve just made, um, a metal frame, and taken some strings, I just allow them to grow up, and they will support themselves, the cantaloupe will. And all kinds of different vines you can do this with.
Mike: This is truly amazing. I noticed this garden, a vast amount of vegetation. Can you explain to me what you have growing in this garden?
Linda: Well over on the far end, I have tomatoes growing Vertically. In front of those I bare, urn, green peppers, basil, strawberries, uh, beets, nm, green beans, com, ear-rots, all kinds of different vegetables like that. Right here, as I said before, I have, urn, cantaloupe. Down at the bottom, I have some Mexican tomatoes called tomatillos. And down at this end, I have egg plant, another kind of pepper called banana peppers, urn, cucumbers, okra, pumpkins. . and I think that’s about it.
Mike: Well, Linda, this is truly amazing.  I’m so impressed, and I know our viewers will be impressed about this, this, this excellent garden. Just truly amazing. I’d like to thank you very much for having us in today to look at your garden [Thank you, Mike]. In a few minutes, viewers, we will let you see the entire garden, and maybe Linda will kind of show you around. So, we thank your very much for being with us today, and our special guest, Linda. Have a nice day.
