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.

Off we go!

On Memorial Day, Phil and I headed to Stuckeyer's Farms to buy plants.  It was worth the 20 minute drive. We bought 6 tomato plants, 2 pepper plants, and 4 herb plants for less than $23!

Catnip from last year. I did trim it back a bit
and hung it in the basement to dry.

I found this tiny worm when planting our new plants.
I have never seen a baby worm this small!

A view of both of our garden beds.

Small bed: Pole Beans, Cucumbers, Dill, Bell Peppers, Carrots,
Anaheim Chilies, Catnip, Oregano, Parsley, Basil, Lavender, Lettuce, and Strawberries.

Big bed: Supersonic Tomatoes, Cherokee Purple Tomatoes,
Mountain Fresh Tomatoes, Bush Beans, Squash, Hot Banana Peppers.

Cherokee Purple Tomatoes. 

This end of the bed has seeds that haven't sprouted yet
or ones that just sprouted so it's looking a little sad. Before we know it
the zucchini squash will have taken over.
