spring garden

We have started working on our garden.  Gardening for my family has always been stressful.  We definitely weren't born with a green thumb.  This year with so much going on and just really not wanting to face yet another year of so much work to just have garden failure, we are going to take baby steps and go way smaller.  Even with our size of family, I feel we don't eat all we plant, so we are going to just pick our favorites and go with that.  So you see the huge garden plot above we are working basically from the posts on the left over and from little man back my way...that's it. ;)  and we are happy about it!  So being only that size, making raised rows, and laying down wood chips last year, we didn't have much prep work and it is READY TO GO!!!
We aren't doing potatoes in the ground this year, we are going with potato boxes...built my material given to us by someone that was throwing them away.  We've never done potatoes this way, but we are giving it a go, since we don't seem to get a good yield in the ground for the amount of work it takes.

Blessings,
