Getting ready for our vegetable garden planting
We headed over to our local nursery a couple of weeks ago and got our starter vegetable plants. We now had our vegetable plants and our raised garden bed, so we were ready to start planting. We gathered up all of our tools and plants and headed out to the garden. However, as this was the very first time we had ever planted vegetables, we realized that we did not really know how to do it.

Build a raised garden bed like this one
This year is our first attempt at having a raised vegetable garden bed. We are complete novices to vegetable gardening, so we decided to start small by using a raised garden bed. Using a raised garden bed allowed us to set aside a very small space in our backyard to devote to our raised vegetable garden bed.
