When Max and I began to think about our garden this spring, we realized it wasn't going to be our year. Between me being 8-9months pregnant for part of the summer and then having a newborn for the rest of the summer, in addition to already having commitments at least 3 nights a week between all of our schedules, we decided our big garden that we have done the last few years is not going to be the best option for us... Immediately, I wanted a large raised garden bed, but the few hundred dollar price tag that went along with it was also not going to work for us this year. Bummer. Then, my handyman husband found some cedar in one of our barns, and repurposed it to make the cutest little garden bed ever. We filled it with some garden soil (on sale at runnings, with a rebate also--score!) and planted our favorites... Carrots, sugar snap peas, lettuce, spinach, beets, etc and waited to see what happened....
We are happy with the results so far! There are still a few areas around our house where we have a few other things planted like cherry tomatoes, herbs, and then we still have our raspberry and strawberry patches, which I am so looking forward to! As for anything else we didn't plant this year that we usually do, we will just purchase from the farmers markets nearby :)
