Lettuce from our garden...

 Our little lettuce garden is producing like crazy...


Henry loves to help me pick all the leaves...




He's my sweet little farm hand.  Maybe someday he'll grow up to be a farmer, or have a garden of his own...



I think I spent $17 total on all of my plants when I bought them, and this garden has already more than paid for itself.  Not that that's why we have one, but sometimes it's nice to keep track of such things :)  I think my favorite things about a winter garden is that it requires so little maintenance!  The cold and rainy days keep it pretty moist, so I rarely have to water it, which is great.  I'm definitely a winter garden convert!

Oh man I miss CA. And it's rain. And "cold." I've been putting a lot of research into possibly getting a garden started. I'm thinking I'll be spending a bit more than $17. I like your raised beds. I think I'm going to have to go back and look at your "recipe" for raised beds!
