We planted 6-to-8-inch seedlings about 5 weeks ago...
This squash doesn't understand personal space...
But it has loads of little veggies starting, so we overlook its social shortcomings...
Some flowers to deter critters...
Two of Dave's experiments, both going well:
This planter has a false bottom; the lowermost compartment is filled with water (fed by the plastic bottle visible in the lower left corner. Lots of fruit on these tomatoes...
This planter has eggplant growing upright and tomatoes growing out the bottom. Both plants are really sturdy and busy flowering...
This cactus at the corner of our deck grew from one blade we propped up in the gravel a couple years ago...

I am so impressed by your garden!!
I've not planted mine yet (we've had bad weather on weekends). We're going to plow next Saturday and get started a bit late. I've been thinking about doing boxes--do you think they're better than plowing?
YES! Our soil is shallow and poor for vegetables, so building up the beds with layers of rich material has done wonders for production. They also make it easier to access the plants, and there are VERY few weeds. We have soaker hose buried just beneath the top layer of soil, so they're easy to water, too.
Highly recommended!
You guys are so awesome! Looks great!
Thanks, Carrie -- glad you like it -- welcome to the blog!
