We live in St. Louis City and this is our third year gardening. We have two raised beds in our backyard,
and use the Square Foot Gardening Method.

Picture Update

The big bed. It looks so empty.

Tomatoes in the big bed: cherry, yellow plum, and roma.

Romaine & Gourmet Lettuces, Spinach, Carrots

Broccoli!

Beans!

Flowers I rescued from the clearance rack at Lowes.
 Today I added the first store purchased plants to the garden. I really lucked out because Lowe's had plants marked down to $1.50.
Greek Oregano 

For Gato y Pepe

Sage

Cilantro (started as a seed)

The little bed,  much more impressive.

Watermelon

Sweet Basil

The Romaine (again)

Coming Along

Phil did some work in the garden yesterday with some help from Wes. Phil also added some Miracle Grow Organic Choice plant food to the soil.
They planted some Bush Beans, Zucchini Squash, and Basil.


Our small bed is looking great! 

We inherited a bird bath today; it even came with a creepy little bear!
