I started Square Foot Gardening in raised boxes a few years ago. I just love it. The soil stays so nice because no one walks all over it. I can't live without fresh tomatoes, herbs, eggplant, cukes, and squash in my garden. This year I am experimenting with some Burpee seeds for smaller, compact container veggies like dwarf cukes, zuchinni,etc. I will grow them on my deck in pots, but I will also grow full size ones in the boxes just in case.
