Garden Project 2012

I like the concept of a garden.  While living in the UK I loved looking at everyone's garden plots while on the train.  Even people who had very little green space somehow managed to find the space to grow a few things.  Right before we moved home we had lunch at a co-workers house and he had a beautiful garden with lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, you name it.  I was very impressed.  After some reading, we decided we aren't quite ready to commit to a raised bed garden so have decided to start small with a container garden.  This weekend we planted the first phase of our crop and some flowers.  We will probably add a few more things, but as of now we have tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries and some herbs. Hopefully at some point I'll be able to give a progress report that includes something edible.  If we are unsuccessful I am going to blame the bunnies as I'm sure it will have nothing to do with my gardening abilities.
