[@fransiedutoit7338]

The best channel on SFG! Thank you so much for all your hard work to make it easier for people like me :)

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Thanks for all your help! Beautiful design and nice to think about next growing season as this season dies back 👍 must have been a ton of work to create those graphics...thank you

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Your welcome! I am here to share whatever I learn so we can all be better gardeners :) November and December are always for me months when I am dreaming about the new growing season. What will I have what I wont :) And I am already thinking to expand a little bit. I think I can find some more space in the garden that I have :D Yes those graphics are hard to do. Especially with a slow computer :D took me 16 hours to make them :) But I think they are worth it to better explain what I wanted to say. Or are they?

[@helen2061]

@@SmallGardenQuest Yes they are very helpful! Really make the square foot method clear and the sun and shade patterns are particularly helpful. I hear you about the slow computer! I was a graphic designer before I retired a few years ago and nothing is instant ..a lot of input and patience.

Love your videos and enthusiasm for square foot gardening. Learned so much so far. Was not aware that certain plants like/don’t like being next to each other and it affects their growth. Makes total sense when you think about it. I do have one question. In one of your videos I was sure you mentioned a free app that is good for garden design/planning. Cannot find. Which video now or any link. Would appreciate if you could share details of any app you have used.

Cool stuff :)

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Thanks! Nice cat :D

@@SmallGardenQuest No problem, also the cat is from Vincent Van Gogh if you were wondering.😁

Another great video! This is my job through the winter. I got a bunch of beds built for my first year of gardening next year but now have to figure how to put everything in. My nature, as far as organization goes, is to put everything in nice even rows but I'm seeing a lot of good things about throwing it all in there together. I think I'll go random in one 8x10 as an experiment and meet in the middle on the other beds with tallest stuff to the North. It's gonna be a long winter, I'm too excited!!

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Great! Now is the right time to start planning your garden layout! If you want I can help with some suggestions. I don't know what you meant with the 8x10. You will have an 8x10feet raised bed or this is the size of your garden?

[@jeremysnaturebook8242]

@@SmallGardenQuest Sorry, mean 8x4, one of my raised beds, 2 ft high. I've built 4 of those and then three 4x10 smaller beds made of 2x6 boards. I have a parch of rye growing where a corn field will go and then I've made trellises for tomatoes. It's not necessarily gigantic but it's fairly huge for a beginner!

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Yea that's huge. I started with two 4x12 raised beds 😂

[@SeededandRooted]

I love this this is what I want to do next year thanks

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Great! Now I am wondering what your plans will be :D

[@SeededandRooted]

@@SmallGardenQuest I have an even smaller space so I was thinking about use square blocks and containers

[@SmallGardenQuest]

That can work. If you have a small space I would go with plants that can grow verticaly so you maximise the space that you have

[@SeededandRooted]

@@SmallGardenQuest Thank you

[@cyclemaine859]

I enjoy your SFG videos and have learned a lot. What computer program do you use for SFG especially the vegetable symbols? Thank you.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

I use adobe illustrator. I have downloaded some free icons from the web that I can use :)

[@Cycle-vp8vk]

@@SmallGardenQuest Thank you. I will try Adobe Illustrator.

[@zaccomusic]

nice content friend

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Would you change anything in the design?

[@1of2shoes]

Planning which plants I want is the best part.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Yes is a very relaxing process and you can dream how your new garden will look :)

[@SkintSNIPER262]

I need to move. Backyards in the suburbs are too small and there's a lot of trees so whatever I plant can't even get enough sunlight lol.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

How small is your backyard? the shade can be a problem but there is always a solution = an axe :D

[@SkintSNIPER262]

@@SmallGardenQuest Unfortunately most of the trees aren't mine. The trees are so big that it shades almost the entire backyard. I did manage to start a rather small garden that has just enough sunlight at the side of the house. But unfortunately I can't expand. Gotta start somewhere.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Yes gotta start somewhere 😊

[@SamDaManX]

Why is the U-Shape only 2 feet wide? I thought it can be 4 feet

[@SmallGardenQuest]

If you can walk all around it it can be 4 feet wide. But if you cant its best to have it 2 feet wide.

[@SamDaManX]

@@SmallGardenQuest thanks! Love the channel by the way! Keep it up 👍

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Thank you! Wish you all the best in the upcoming season

[@peachesandsugar1]

I would eliminate the wood sides on your beds then you would have more space in your garden,

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Possibly. But the wind erosion would be greater.

[@peachesandsugar1]

@@SmallGardenQuest I don't use wood sides for my beds, I live in Canada, lots of wind and snow they stay in place, I put down cardboard then compost on top and mulch with straw.
