Last year we planted a small raised garden bed in our front yard. We chose this location because we knew if we had to walk past it everyday we would be forced to acknowledge it and work in it.

I admit, we can be a little scatterbrained and lazy at times. But we were determined to have a garden. Unfortunately, life got in the way and we didn’t have much luck with our little garden.

This year we aren’t quite as busy and we decided to add another raised bed and plant another garden in the ground.

We’ve been enjoying romaine and kale since March. We also planted Brussel sprouts, peppers, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes and more. Our plants are big with a few fruits per plant. I’m excited to see how it does this year since I’m out there almost daily pulling weeds and pruning when needed.
