I have never been much of a gardener! I have tried for years without much success.
this is my garden in 2007

This year I decided to really do it up right
Niels and Ben built me two 5ft X 17ft long raised garden beds
they put pavers around the whole things and it is just right for me to set on the edge and take care of it. No more killing my knees and back.
We filled it up with some really great soil!
Then we planted
Here is our first little seedlings
This was about 2 weeks ago, everything is growing and really looking good
Much thanks to the boys, they have really helped keep it watered and weeded. Ben calls it his garden and in truth it really is.
We are trying to go totally organic, no pesticides, so we have released over a thousand lady bugs, planted garlic, onion and marigolds and hatched Praying Mantis.
Here's what we got going on
BEANS & GARLIC
WATERMELON
SUMMER SQUASH
TOMATOES
CANTALOUPE
ZUCCHINI
CORN
CUCUMBER
SUNFLOWERS
We also have PEPPERS and RADISHES,
I have loved watching it grow and it is really starting to produce!

WOW! look at your amazing garden grow! i love it, i'm jealous! one day...:)
I am jealous! It really has started to produce! We've had our garden plenty for nearly two months and still only have a few herbs...nothing else is growing well.
I'm so glad I live close by and can reap the benefits of a sister-in-law who knows how to garden. Ummmmmm Delicious!
That would explain why I was unable to purchase any Ladybugs this week- they are all at your house! The aphids that are attacking my artichokes!
Wow! Way to go. We have had our garden planted for a couple of weeks now. Too soon for this kind of results. IT LOOKS FABULOUS!! Enjoy all those fresh veggies!
Beautiful and delicious!

You know what's cute? I always thought it was so sweet everytime (all three times) I was there the boys were watering and helping with the garden. I had no idea they helped build the thing...that took A LOT of work! Dang!
