Thinking Spring ... Gardening

Nothing "beets" walking to your garden, picking fresh veggies or berries, cleaning them off and eating them for dinner 40 minutes later. That's as fresh as you can get at meal time.

For the past few years, we've had a "garden". I call it our "ghetto garden". It's not raised, but it's surrounded by a foot-high, white picket fence - which was meant to keep the critters out, but failed to do so last year and though we planted MANY carrots - we were able to sample a whopping ZERO.



This year, I'd love to start the growing season off with a raised garden area, though I'm a bit intimidated as I have never attempted this before and don't know where to begin.

I love these raised gardens from Scout Regalia . They're clean, neat, and seem to be high quality. These cedar raised gardens are also spectacular. Unique Home and Garden seems to have great tips!

Do you, as a family, grow your own veggies? What is your set-up like? Are you making any modifications this year? What type of wood did you use? Did you use a liner? Please share any tips or tricks in the comment section.
