"I tippy tippy toe through my garden..."

We have a garden!


We chose to do a raised bed, since our dirt stinks.  Sometime in the future we'll have multiple raised beds, but for now, this is it.  The pot has an onion plant in it that started growing on the kitchen counter.  It's an experiment!  So above is a picture of our garden when we first planted it...


...and here it is now!  As you can see, our corn is getting nice and big, and the onion became two and had to be split up and transplanted.  All the other plants are still tiny and hard to see in this picture :)  We planted onions, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and corn.

A close-up of some other plants. This picture is about a week old, and several of these have  doubled in size.

We planted a bunch of little onions, so when I was thinning them out, I decided to bring some inside to grow green onions.

And now, for your viewing pleasure:

Awesome! And raised beds are smart--dang UT dirt. Also, I love your happy flowers! You guys are like real homeowners!!

I had an onion experiment too! But 1/2 of mine failed. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion...

Hey, Ali...
I have been doing the raised bed gardens now for about five years and I LOVE IT!! Right now I've got green beans, squash, onions, cukes, tomatoes and spinach growing in mine, not to mention some volunteer potatoes. You just gotta love it. If you need help in knowing how much to plant in each square, just let me know. I've got it down to a science. You can actually grow A LOT more than you think you can.
LOVE
