Garden Before... and AFTER!!

I started a vegetable garden in my backyard as a challenge to see if a city girl like me can really enjoy something that I've always associated with farmers and retirement (ignorant statement but true). I've never been into yard work and I didn't realize how labor intensive gardening was going to be, but in the end, it turned out better than I anticipated. I HAVE SUCH APPRECIATION AND RESPECT FOR FARMERS AND GARDENERS THAT DO THIS WORK. So, if I can do it!!! ANYONE CAN!!!


 I found 4 X 4 garden boxes for $40 and it was the perfect solution to making the garden aesthetically pleasing and functional for all conditions. You can even use garden boxes on top of concrete if you want to start a garden and don't have a backyard.  

AFTER

Fruits, Vegetable and Herbs i planted in a very small space:
CARROTS
KALE

GRAPE VINE
BASIL
MINT
HOT PEPPER
SORREL

WATERMELON
