Absolutely both, but raised beds are nice for when ground level is too far away.

Both for me.

Both! I so love the spring when everything in the ground is surprising as it comes to such vibrant life and color!

I always run out of garden space and add in planters though.

I love when flowers are inbetween the rocks like that. I bought some seeds to do that in my backyard this year, but life had other ideas. I think the seeds will last until next year and I can try again. Your look beautiful.

These two need to be repotted ASAP. One of my coworkers took her cucumbers to work before going on a long vacation. The reasoning being they’d 100% die at her place, so why not bring them to work for us to kill take care of.

They’ve survived for more than a week, but I rescued the saddest looking cuke for some repotting.

The tomato is the same one I traded for and it’s getting cramped in there.

Some weird and unexpected drama happening with our house build plans has made outside gardening a questionable idea at the moment… Gah!! Just when the weather is getting good here. I am now definitely limited to container gardening until this project is either finished or scrapped.

I hope you don’t mean you house when you say scrapped.

We had a moment of wanting to give up, but I think we’re past that now. Someone in the local government is just working hard at not letting us do anything, even if she can’t find an actual rule we’ve broken. It’s demoralizing. But I will be talking to the state building folks soon and they have authority over this person at the town planner’s office. I have hope.

Boo… got stuck in traffic and missed my water aerobic class.

But that means I can work on my swap package. I’m less than 20% done so there’s much to do still. Plus I needto decide if I want to make some kind of _________ to go with it.

The best protection against pests isn’t poison, it’s having healthy plants and habitat for pest-eating critters.
