Back deck gardening

So I would say this is my first real attempt at growing a garden...I tried last year but I just didn't have the time to take care of it. It's so exciting to see everything turn out. I've only had one setback and that was when the dogs decided to make beds out of the lower boxes. It was a little upsetting but I'm over it now and have replanted new seeds (I'm trying Kale). So far we've had lettuce and radishes galore, broccoli, and snap peas. My carrots, beans, and scallions were doing well until the dogs. We are expanding next year with a new spot out front...


Sugar Snap Peas


Broccoli


Romaine lettuce


Radishes


Sungold tomato...it's amazing that this plant has even reached the flowering stage. Tomatoes are extremely hard to grow up here unless you have a heated greenhouse...I have talked to many people around who have given up. I started this one outside and didn't really pay any attention to it (figuring it wouldn't do anything) and now it actually has flowers!

Ok Scout...I forgive you(kinda). Just don't do it again!!
