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.

A bit behind...

We have been slowly renovating our bathroom since New Year's day, which means the garden hasn't gotten the attention it is used to by this time of year. We have started seeds inside (most of which didn't take or aren't making it).

We used a new "greenhouse" that we got for Christmas this year that came with a heated mat. I think the actual term might be "hothouse".


On April 20, I started cucumbers, green beans, lettuce (WAY LATE), and carrots outside. I also transplanted the lavender and catnip that I brought in over the winter. I've since added a few strawberry plants and marigolds.  Only the little bed has been planted (more to come). The big bed has been tilled but that's it so far. I am thinking this year we'll be buying most of our plants.
