Since I can remember, we always had veggie and flower garden. And I always hated it. Why? Because my mom was always working in it and she would always make me weed it and help her with stuff. And now? I find myself starting my own... funny. Mine is A LOT smaller than hers (she always had some half an acre!). I promise not to make my kids do stuff there unless they want to.. and they want to! oh man. They bother more than help, but they have fun and that is all that matters. I can fix it when they play on the playground :-)) We are starting VERY SMALL because we have a HUGE deer problem in the area and I'm testing how the nets will hold up. If they do, I will buy some more and we will put up more boxes. There is room for at least 5 more. So far we've plated red cabbage, carrots, basil, leeks, cucumbers, tomatoes, beets and green beans. Still waiting on my flowers thou. I hope that they will arrive soon :-)) Here are some pics of the garden.
just the boxes...
