Let's see those '11 gardens!

My wife and I are taking our first crack at this. I dropped a little over $100 so far, but that's building a 10ft by 5ft box and filling with garden soil mix. Planted our stuff yesterday. Doing lettuce, squash, zucchini, Greenbeans, some different peppers and broccoli. Setting up tomatoes separately. If it goes well we will do a second box next year.

The boy had fun planting things the girls were bored quickly.

Sounds like a great start. In the future, if you continue to do this, you may want to build the beds less wide. It will make keeping up with things a LOT easier and you won't have to stretch or step on your soil.

Yeah we thought about that, but where its located you can reach in from all sides so its not bad. We have a corner house so we have a long side run that we don't use much. It already had sprinkled so Just centered the box on the sprinkle.
