I got plenty of disapproving looks when I announced I was going to build something out of cinder blocks, and people (namely Andy and my parents) were surprised at how well it turned out. See? I always know exactly what I'm doing. (OK, I was surprised, too.)
The straw-mulched areas are squash and pickling cucumbers (left) and zucchini and slicing cucumbers (right). These guys need room.
Tomatoes! Last year's tomato crop was pitiful, so here's hoping this goes well. A friend started some great-looking plants--I have Mortgage Lifter and Brandywine--in his basement, and shared four with me (I exchanged some of my pickles for the goods). The little guys in the front are Romas.
Radishes are so quick and easy.
The French eat their radishes right--on a slice of crusy white bread spread with good butter, sprinkled with salt.

There is a great deal of salad in our
future.I love the way beans sprout--it's incredible, visually, to see the plant breaking free from the seed that was planted just a week ago.
*gasp* it's gorgeous!! and i'm insanely jealous!! the only thing my garden's growing right now is weeds! my goal for this week is to force aaron to work up the dirt then plant something...anything at this point!
