Garden {2016}

Growing up with fruit trees in my parents backyard, I knew I wanted a garden of my own one day.

There is nothing tastier then fresh fruit and veggies you can pick from your backyard.

However, our first home had a covered patio and our home now has a concrete patio.

Thanks to my friend at Gardening Squared we have figured out a solution. She made this beautiful raised bed for our patio.IMG_8113

Check out her work here.

Hubby and I took the kids one afternoon to a nursery to pick out the goods.

We came home and planted our little garden. We were all so very excited!

Here is what we bought:

Romaine lettuce

Cucumbers

2 types of tomatoes

Strawberries

Onion (home experiment)IMG_4860 - day 1 Week 1 Update

After just 1 week our strawberries and our tomato plants were staring to flower. Our lettuce was producing more then we could eat and our onion was growing tall.

I absolutely love growing romaine lettuce! I pick a few leaves everyday for lunch.

The best part about lettuce, you are encouraged to pick often so it can produce more. Best purchase ever!!

Any tips on what we should do? FullSizeRenderWe love our garden box and can’t wait for our crop to produce.

Do you have a garden? What are some of your favorite things to grow?
