We have had a veggie garden for many years. When I complained about how hard it was to get down to the dirt, my husband built me raised beds. Wide stacked cedar planks that I can sit on if necessary. Much easier to plant and weed now. We live in a temperate zone, so we eat from the garden for most of the year. We have kale and Brussels sprouts now, but they are nearly over. Soon I will plant lettuce, spinach, radishes,and peas that like cool spring weather. Love my garden and my quilting.
