Amy's garden

For the last several years, Amy has wanted to plant a garden. We don't really have the backyard space to accommodate a nice garden, plus we're a little lazy (okay guess I'm speaking about myself there!) so it never happened.

During the winter, I noticed Costco was selling these elevated garden beds, they're about 2.5 x 4 feet, not too big, perfect to put on our deck. So I bought it and we waited for spring. Tod and Amy did the plant purchasing and the planting, and soon we saw some growth! We didn't really know what we were doing, so it was a learning process.

 We had plenty of lettuce (too much, really),

and the corn didn't quite mature,

and I pulled up some garlic chives because I thought they were just garlic.

But we got our first cucumbers and some tiny potatoes,

and now some cherry tomatoes and regular tomatoes!

I'd say we are very successful gardeners!
