Our Veggie Garden

It took 3 years, but we finally did it! Justin and I planted a vegetable garden in our backyard this past weekend. I'm really excited about it and I'm hoping that I do better with an actual garden than I do with houseplants. If all goes well we should have lots of fresh, yummy veggies this summer. It really is amazing how much you can put into a 3' x 6' space. I used this nifty interactive garden planner on the Gardener's Supply Co. website to plan the garden, although I altered the original plan slightly once I bought the plants and seeds. The planner was really helpful because it also gives tips on how to plant, care for, and harvest each type of vegetable.

Here's a run down of what we planted
(in no particular order):
Tomatoes
Zuccini
Lettuce
Scallions
Leeks
Green and yellow peppers
Cucumbers
Butternut squash
