My seeds have sprouted! I have seven varieties of tomatoes, several herbs, some green peppers and a few flowers started.
Bob built four 4x4 beds for our plants this year. We are going with raised beds because our house is new construction and the soil is completely compacted from the building process. Plus we can create a nice mix of soil from the start and not have to worry about trying to get our yard soil into garden condition. We are going to employ the Square Foot Gardening method for the first time. We shall see how it goes.

Woo Hoo!! Yay for sprouts!
I have done raised gardens for seveal years. They are wonderful! I also grow lots of herbs. Best thing to grow them in is cement blocks turned on their sides. I fill each hole with some rocks then dirt then plant. The cement holds the water even in the hot OK summer and they are pretty around the edge. I plant every 3rd hole with marigolds to keep the pests away.
