We went to Home Depot last week and picked up some soil, starter plants and seeds. Thinking it might be easier to keep the garden in a confined space, we talked about building the garden in a raised bed.
While we were at Home Depot, I tracked down a worker and asked him where I could find the "gardening boxes" (thinking there might be a starter kit somewhere or even better, a pre-made box I could purchase).
He looked at me like I was crazy and said,
"Um, try the lumber section."
Apparently that was a ridiculous question. Great. How am I going to find the time, energy and know-how to build myself one of these?
Enter my wonderful Husband, who surprised me when I came home from my trip to Easter WA last weekend with a beautiful wooden flower bed he had made. What a treat!
Now I really feel the pressure to get this garden going...I'm sure this will be quite the learning experience for me but I'm excited to get the kids involved and give this a try

Fun! We planted our first garden box last year and loved it! We were even gone for 2 weeks and it thrived. I'd recommend hooking up a drip/sprinkler system through it so that you don't have to worry about watering. The kids will love it, and it's so fun eating what you grow yourself. Enjoy!!
