It's about the experience and knowing you are growing healthy food for your family. I know we are going to make lots of mistakes with our garden this first year. I'm just hoping my neighbors will take pity on us and share from their garden when ours turns out to be a complete flop! We can't plant anything until June around here or it will freeze. Have you found out when you should plant exactly to be past the freeze date in your area? It’s not about the money right?

They are always ready to plant, no tilling, simply dig under. They are so easy to build and not very expensive, esp if you can get some scrap wood. I think we're going to make a few more, and I'll do a tutorial. The most expensive part is filling the bed with great soil. Be very careful with your baby seedlings and harden them properly before they go in the ground. They really need to be babied. It's not going to hurt them to be in containers for a while longer. I am enjoying your blog, Toni, and have added you to my sidebar so others can find you:) This is why we do raised beds. They are always ready to plant, no tilling, simply dig under.

I'm excited to live vicariously through your garden instead. I can't wait to see pictures of plants in the ground.

We made a great purchase by getting the tiller attachment for our weed eater. It's amazing how much of a work horse that little thing is! I planted a few seeds last week and I'm amazed to see sprouts coming up. I can't believe I didn't kill them. Everything looks really great!
