They actually arrived this morning from Amazon.com. The box itself is far sturdier than I had thought it would be, I'm impressed. Now I need to go find some potting mix and some plants. Sure hope these work! I really would like to make some narrow raised beds for our strip along the fence, but don't think I'll have time this season. Meanwhile, temps are barely 60F and cloudy. No summer here yet, LOL! Will do. They actually arrived this morning from Amazon.com. The box itself is far sturdier than I had thought it would be, I’m impressed.

Cynthia - Wow let me know how that goes - those earthboxes sound really interesting. And we will certainly give the green beans a try (I believe we have those as well). @Andrew – isn’t it funny that you are feeling guilty for not being in the garden except for on the way to a run, and I am feeling guilty for not being on my way to a run because I’m in the garden! :)

GiGi – We will definitely do that!

I'm getting a late start on gardening this year. The weather on the other side of the state has been just as fitful. I don't know that physically I am up to digging a garden, so I have ordered something called earthboxes and will give them a try. At the least, they will give me growing space where we get our best sunlight... i.e. on the concrete pool decking. I'm contemplating getting a couple wine barrels for the front yard, where we also get good morning sun. There is nothing better than the taste of veggies you've grown yourself! If you do green beans, be sure to try some raw in salads when they are tiny! Green beans are GREAT this way! I have to admit… I’m getting a late start on gardening this year.

It's been several years since I've been in a place where I can have one. Please be sure to post a photo of those tomatoes when you get them! Oh, you so make me miss my garden!

And the spinach truly does taste better picked straight from your own patch of dirt. @Christine: The raised beds were really my requirement - it took a lot more work, and money for good soil, but in the end I'm with you - if you make the weeding easy, I'm there! :) @Lisa: Funny you should mention...Our youngest has developed a taste for dirt...oh boy...and our oldest likes to help me weed, but his version is plucking the maple leaves off of the lower branches. Not exactly what we have in mind, but as they say, good help is hard to find.... :) @Joy: We really are enjoying it from a cooking/dining perspective, in addition to the fun of seeing things spring up each day.

BTW, are the kids helping pull some of those weeds? :) I won’t have a garden this year, but I’m glad I’m sharing yours. BTW, are the kids helping pull some of those weeds?
