Let's just say that it's not my husband's area of interest. (But, I remind myself, he's good at other things). What do you eat for protein? Does the whole family eat like that as well? My daughter is a RED MEAT eater, although I don't eat it or cook it at home (only organic chicken, shrimp, fish and ground turkey), but when she goes to a restaurant, she orders MEAT.

Although I'm in MN so my seedlings are still inside for one more week. Isn't is so exciting to see them sprout? I swear I was just as proud as when I gave birth. I think it's a good learning lesson for the kiddos too. What have you planted so far? I started my first veggie garden this year too!

I have tried gardening and you would think, living in the great Northeast I would do great - but I can not, for the life of me figure out if it is a weed or a radish so, just to make sure, I either pull it, or let it grow and then I have a weedy mess. Because we don't plant in planters, we plant in the ground where all the weeds grow in with the vegetables. I even tried the topsy turvey things you hang, I got one tiny tomato out of it. But yours looks beautiful and good luck with it all. Keep us up to date with your bountiful veggies. Looks awesome – and I love the box.

Thank you for the inspiration. The empty plot in the back yard needs some love an I think that now I have the motivation to get out there and get at it...before it's too late! Oh Darcie!

I wish I could like red meat, I can eat it, I just don't ENJOY it. Oh! Your squash and lettuce and peppers look fantastic! DId I also see tomato seedlings? I can't wait to be eating from our garden this summer! I’m with you on the meat issue. I wish I could like red meat, I can eat it, I just don’t ENJOY it.

GO Jeff. I will plant my tomato in the hanging thing and also a bell pepper in a large pot. Both did well last year. Is that really a cucumber on that little plant? GO Jeff.

Good luck! I would like to have one, but the deer and bunnies eat EVERYTHING around here. So I'm sticking to my herbs...that right there saves me a significant amount of $$$. This year I've only done the basics...thyme, rosemary, lots of basil, dill, parsley. Can't wait to see what you've got growing in there!!! Yay! Good luck!
