I started a garden this year for the first time. The whole family has loved it. I followed the Square-Foot Gardening and this is what it produced:

My First Garden |
It's not huge, but it sure has been fun. I built two 4X4 boxes and put them up against my house where I get the most sun. I planted a bunch of different things, just to try it out. Although we don't love eggplant, we've found that it produces a lot, and the blossoms are a beautiful purple. I have used the herbs a ton, most recently in made-from-scratch spaghetti sauce. There is nothing like fresh vegetables on the dinner table.

I've been thinking about making my own spahgetti sauce...did you folow a recipe or wing it?
ReplyDeleteSasha, I used a recipe, but had to improvise a little. Next time I'd add more basil and other spices and maybe a few more tomatoes. It was yummy anyway.
