Q: I've been reading your book and web site and spent part of last weekend preparing some 4x4 squares for next summer. The only sunny yard area is on a slope, so I've been doing a bit of terracing.

I've also been planning layouts. I saw lots of salad vegetables in your book, but I didn't see any information on spacing for celery. From the information at a seed web site, I would guess six inch spacing.

You can also follow the directions for potatoes in my recent column. Basically you just add Mel's mix to cover the main stem of the plant as it grows taller. Check it out; it's a lot of fun for the advanced Square Foot Gardener.

Good Luck,
