One of the most exciting things about buying a house for me was knowing that one day we could have a garden. We moved in a bit too late to start one last year, but we got on the ball this year... If you've been following the Dreschers' blog, you've seen James detail out the steps. Basically, we decided to go with the Square Foot Gardening method and so far are happy (but it's a little early to tell what the harvest will be like ;))
The hardest part was probably getting the supplies and then building and filling the boxes. My big, strong handsome man did most of this work for us - here are some pics of the beginning stages:

Mixing the soil and filling the boxes:
After several weeks of planting (spacing them out for a longer harvest), here are the boxes now:
And our herbs (and some flowers):
And the newly mulched back yard - thanks to my dad:

Hey, give yourself credit for that mulch in the backyard too! It was a father-daughter effort!!
awesome! that's one of the most exciting parts for me too! I've never had a green thumb, but i've been loving my Better Homes and Gardens mag more than ever and can't wait to start our garden! I'd love to start with a "salad" garden:) lettuce, tomatoes and anything else would be a bonus:)
great job! looks terrific!
