I can't believe how long it has been since my last post. So instead of putting thoughts into words, I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.

| The future contents of the raised vegetable beds. (And yes - I hauled all of them from the truck to the back yard!) |
 |
| Preparing to nail down the raised beds. (measuring many times to make certain everything is even) |
 |
| all nailed down and ready to be filled |
 |
| Making sure everything is level! |
 |
| Done at last! (With my trusty rabbit chaser in the background on guard.) |
 |
| Don't they look nice? Just wait... |

| Putting up the fence (to keep the rabbit chaser out)! See how the onions and shallots are growing? |
 |
| The fence is finished! And the seedlings have grown FAST! They like all the April showers! |
 |
| My own little oasis! |
 |
| Yes, I planted the tomatoes, peppers and eggplants on 4/23! |

 |

| The new Cabernet Sauvingon vines are sprouting! |
 |
| The taller Blueberry bush was planted last year (2010) the smaller bush was just planted this year. |

| I can't believe how much the Artichokes have grown in just 4 days! |
 |
| Broccoli is starting to form. |
 |
| The tomatoes and onions are getting big. And notice that one 'empty' bed that was in front of the gate? Now its filled with Winter Squash, Summer Squash, Radishes, Nasturtiums and Cantaloupe! |
 |
| Can't wait to see how it looks in a few more weeks! |
