Look what I grew
Here is the result of my first-ever attempt at growing an organic vegetable garden. It's been a happy success. Every plant in my plot started from a seed. And with the exception of some uncooperative cucumbers, all the rest of my plants have sprung forth the most delicious and intensely flavored vegetables I've ever, ever had. I think that's just the nature of fresh-picked anything.

"Sweetie" cherry tomatoes are so easy to grow. A little burst of heaven in your mouth.

Green beans galore.

The lone eggplant (who happens to be dressed in my favorite color).
I grew lettuces, Swiss chard and beets as well. All yum.
If you've been thinking about growing a vegetable garden, I say go for it. Read a few books (these are the ones I read), do a bit of online research, pick a spot that gets a full 8 hours of sunshine a day, and don't forget to water.
