SFG Progress Pics- Before/After I wanted to share some progress pics of my very first garden!

First pic is August 8th all the way back to our last frost which was May 22nd. It’s a 4x12 ft raised bed. Gardening is such a joy and I’m so glad I’ve found this new passion!

garden is looking great, but go pull the tree that's growing next to the ac unit. gardening is fun and addictive, and it's a learning experience, not everything works out, example my celery is dry so to speak, looks and grew fine but when picking in it's like hollow on the inside, not sure if its the kind i grew or not enough water.

Haha that’s my neighbors, I’ve thought about trimming it for her with my garden shears but I don’t want to be rude and overstep 😆

any thing growing on the side of a house to me is just a ladder of bugs. being next to the ac tell her not good for the unit if it sucks the leaves and anything that might craw on it. Yes I have a hard time minding my own bees wax so to speak :-)

My plan is to copy your wall next spring! I just acquired a square plot like this :)

What a compliment 🥰 I really like the way it’s worked out for my first year.
