I'm so excited that this year I will have time to grow some of our own food in our backyard! Zach and I spent a weekend building a raised garden bed to house our little veggies. 4'x8' to start until we know I can actually grow something. I have been acquiring seeds and seedlings to plant when the time is right. We have a short growing season here where you don't need frost protection so timing is everything. I need to build a dog proof surrounding so Lucy won't be tempted to taste the goodies or more probably dig for tennis balls. I'm taking any tips or advice I can get so feel free to send it my way!
I'm thinking of planting: carrots, radishes, sugar peas, lettuce, and squash in the bed. On the side of the house I will plant herbs, chives, tomatoes and potatoes. Hopefully we'll be eating fresh treats this summer and fall!

Fresh vegetables! Yum! how could you aren't going to just plant them in the ground? I really want to make a little section in our backyard for vegetables.
I thought a raised garden bed would have better irrigation and it would be an easier way to control the weeds. I just planted in it on Monday so we will see how it goes...
