Broccoli and Leeks

It's chilly this morning in the mid Atlantic.  The air is crisp and with the sun shining on the young plants,  I just had to take a picture.  Broccoli and leeks in the morning sunshine :)

Why we love raised beds...

We love raised beds. You can amend the soil (compost, compost, compost) and plant such a beautiful variety of plants without a lot of weeding. In this bed, you can find sage, chives, a volunteer potato plant, broccoli, oregano, cabbage, purple basil, and even a few onions from last year. This is one of the oldest and most productive beds that we have AND it's near the back door :)
