Nine Square Feet

Now that we're more settled in and spring has arrived, we're starting to decide what to do with the yard. One thing that C's been clamoring for is a vegetable garden, so I spent a couple weekends building a planter box out of a couple wooden pallets. We got some free compost from Sunnyvale, some plants from a nursery, and we're now in the gardening business. We're starting with rosemary, thyme, mint, basil, tomatoes, and a couple Chinese vegetables I can't identify.

The box is 3'x3' and is based on the ideas behind square foot gardening. We'll see how well it works...
