I am very proud Aaron's hard work to bring food on the table. I wonder how fast vegetables will be pouring in once the plants really take off. Unfortunately, the initial cost of the garden this first year (approx. $120) will be far higher than the cost of actually buying the vegetables at the store. Perhaps next year when we only spend money on seeds, we will get great tasting vegetables and save money.

Aaron's garden has so far yielded 2 yellow squash and one cucumber. He is very proud of it. First he built the raised garden, then he bought 2 truckloads of dirt and spread it in the garden, and then he planted all the plants. Everyday he goes out to see the progress. Sometimes two and three times a day. So far we have growing one banana pepper, one bell pepper, one tomato, eight cucumbers, one yellow squash, and two heads of lettuce.
