Some recent photos of the garden. The DIY chicken-wire barrier is because I live with an 80-pound standard poodle who gets a kick out of pulling plants out of the dirt for no reason.

| The setup. On the left is the winter crop, on the right is the recently-planted summer crop. |
I built the boxes out of scrap lumber a friend graciously donated to my cause. I'm using an organic soil/compost mix and supplementing with fish emulsion and goodies from our compost bin. I'm a little worried my winter crop looks rather small moving into March, and I can't tell if it's because the overall bed just isn't big enough, or if I planted some things too close together trying to get maximum bang for my buck. Either way, what's coming out of it is still tasty!

| Lemon thyme (upper right), cilantro (upper and lower left) and my itty bitty basil seedling! |
 |
| These peas accidentally found their way into this bucket, and look where we are now. Accidental peas! |
 |
| Yellow pear tomatoes. |
 |
| Unfortunately, the broccoli budded too early. This may be due to the transplant sitting for too long at the Home Depot Garden Center. I've learned to be careful about this... transplants that are flowering already (with the exception of actual flowers) = generally a no-no. |
 |
| Winterbor kale. A lot of it. |
 |
Swiss chard (can never have too much of it).
