2008 late summer:
Last year I set out to make a area in my backyard into a small compacked garden area an area that can be maintained easier without a lot of work, one thing that I don't have a lot of and here is what it looked like. I just finished making the raised beds out of pressure treated 4 x 4 's and this year I am putting a coat of all weather stain on them.
2009 early summer:
I started off planting some of my favorite greens "Swiss Chard" and I love to thin it out when it is still young and steam it down and add vinegar to it and eat that way.
Pictured here is my Swiss Chard growing around my Tomato plants, by the time that the tomato's get to big the Swiss Chard will b done for the season and there will be enough room for the Tomato's.

Starting to steam it down.
After it is steamed.
Put the vinegar to it and enjoy.
