It may seem simple but I’m a new gardener and a few weeks back I heard u say to plant taller plants toward the north side and it was very enlightening for me. Helped me out A LOT.
Thanks for these great videos, so informative and encouraging. I love your passion for gardening and how you emphasize the ongoing learning that comes through gardening (each year learning from the mistakes and improving the next year, being OK with failures). Such a metaphor for life! So excited to begin sowing for this year.
Thanks so much! Yes we shouldn't be discouraged from failure but it must be a push to learn new things and grow ourselves to become better gardeners :) If we stay positive everything is better in life :)
Glad you liked it. It took me quite a bit of time to edit all those lines raised beds and words 😂 but I think it was worth it to present how I do my square foot garden planning 😊
@@SmallGardenQuest well worth it...gave me a really good sense of how your garden will look...and helped with what I plan to do in my garden...thanks for the time you put into this 👍
Your welcome. I will change the layout a little bit in my upcoming video on how to make a garden layout. There you will be able to see my final design for the upcoming season 😊
I am working on prepping my areas for next year. I have a lot of squirrels and rabbits that are always in the yard. Is there anything I can do to keep them out of the garden area? Someone once told me cinnamon sprinkled around the edges keeps out some critters. I have tried Marigolds, but something ate them.
What I would do is to build a protection for my raised beds. You can find a picture if you google "square foot gardening protection" and under the image section the first one. Maybe I will do a video on it :) Please tell me if you found it.
I've been watching all your videos ❤ What app do you use for planning? I have 3 raised beds already started before I learned about this method. The beds are 3x6, my suburb back yard is not that big 🤷♀️ Do you know of any channels that do SFG in the desert? I live in Phoenix and here everything is different when it comes to when and what to plant. ❤🌵
No matter the size is always important to plant your tallest plants on the north side of your raised beds and the smallest plants on your south side :) Hope this was helpful!
This is so sensible and logical. Unlike myself, who wants to plant nearly every single thing! Thank you for giving me a framework to figure it out!
This video was exactly what I was looking for, it's my first year planting a garden and this was so helpful. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful and thank you for your kind words!

Another excellent video full of useful tips for everyone, regardless of experience. Thank you!
Your welcome. If you want I would like to see how you managed your plan 😊 you can post the picture on my Facebook page 😊
Fabulous video. So educational!
Great video! I cant wait to do this. Thanks for the tips
Glad it was helpful! Now you can grab a piece of paper and a pencil on a rainy day and dream about your new garden plan in the 2021 growing season :)
This is really practical and helpful, thank you!
So glad! Did you find you have much more raised beds than needed like me :D
@@SmallGardenQuest this was my first year with a garden and I mostly did containers - I'm planning for next year. So we shall see.
Congratulations on taking this journey! Happy gardening!
Love your videos !!! Keep up the good work 👏 👍
Thanks so much for the support I really appreciate it!
So helpful! I'm getting excited to start
You got this! How many raised beds are you planning?
@@SmallGardenQuest 3 beds of 4x4. Seems like a lof for my first time but there are 12 squares of companion flowers so hope I can manage
You will manage don't you worry!
That was very helpful to see the visuals...thank you! 😁

Hello! For a 4x4 raised square foot garden, does it matter if I plant north to south?
No matter the size is always important to plant your tallest plants on the north side of your raised beds and the smallest plants on your south side :) Hope this was helpful!
@@SmallGardenQuest thank you. This helped ☺️
I kept hearing "rice bits" instead of raised beds! So confused until I finally realized!
:D
Like your vids, but please quit saying "without further ado". This is a theatrical term. So it sounds pretty stupid in this context.
Thanks for the tip! I thought it would be my signiture style lol. But yes eanglis is not my language so again thanks! Will leave it out next time 😂
👍👍👍
Wow, such rude comment bombs are *never* necessary for any reason! 😕
Cgrisann don't worry I can take criticisms when is at is place. And this kind of is. Yes it could be said nicer but its OK 😊
@@SmallGardenQuest she is wrong you can feel free to use it.
