Planting in a square-foot garden

One of the beautiful things about a square-foot garden is that it takes a lot of the guess work (or need for experience) out of planting. There are 16 small plots in each 4x4 square and from one to 16 plants per square, depending on the plant.

By travelling back across the Internet to Journey to Forever, even a beginner can find the proper spacing for each of the desired plants.
