My vegetable garden to be

Let me just start by saying going to a nursery or Home Depot's garden center the day before the Memorial Day weekend is pretty much a death wish. I saw some things in that parking lot that make me shudder and will certainly be haunting me in my sleep. Luckily, Little Guy #2 and I made it out safely with our tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash and herbs.

Next is actually getting them in the ground. I want to try out a raised bed this year, but building something like that is far beyond what I can handle with my little tool set and drill. I am no Pioneer Woman. I did find these, which will definitely work. "Easy to assemble" is nuch more my style.

I also found the kitchen garden planner while I was bouncing around the site. This is great because my estimation skills stink, and tells what exactly will fit. No more under- or over-buying! I made my planner, so now all I have to do is wait for my bed to arrive!
