This spring I decided to grow some veggies. I grew up around plants with my mother having a commercial greenhouse / nursery business and my father "hiring" us to weed the half acre (or so it seemed) garden that he planted every year. So I had a little knowledge about how to turn a seed into a tasty meal. The difference being space.. we (Eric Lee & I) have just a small back patio area with a just two small raised flower beds. So I decided to get creative and try a little bit of everything. Here's how its looking today.
