I garden in bags, pots and tiny four foot square raised beds. I garden along the house. I garden in empty salad clamshells. For the price of the seeds, which were from on-line sources, I play in the dirt.

From the back - shallots, chard, broccolini, okra. With an onion or two from last year. |
|
Green beans on the left, soon to be green beans in the middle and radishes that want to become green beans later. Also the cucumber on the trellis. |

Advance guard |

the rest of the family |
The first. Already claimed by a grandchild. Glowing in its red perfection. The rest, waiting and soaking up today's sunshine and the plentiful rain
|
Greens - the forward quadrant is all lettuce, which grows as quickly as I can cut it |
We have had four salads from this lettuce and probably 3 dozen radishes. Considering the price of organic produce this has probably paid for itself. Once the green beans start we will have them every other night. And I did get carried away with zucchini, planting them in 4 places, but I like the way the plant looks with its prehistoric leaves.
The strawberry bed has been netted, I think birds can smell the ripe fruit for at least 2 miles. Out of 6 raspberry canes planted, two survived the winter, so we may have a berry or two.
Oh, I also planted 10 tomato plants, 6 started from seed and 4 from the produce people at the farmer's market. 4 jalapeno plants and about 5 million volunteer cherry tomatoes.

Volunteers on the left, enlistees on the right. |
and I almost forgot the snap peas, dill, yellow peppers and basil.

Peas, dill etc. |
