Well, after 28 years I finally got my first organic garden in with the help of my roomate. We tilled the ground by hand, built a 12′x5′ raised garden out of 2×10 boards, and filled it with some nice soil and organic compost from our local organic garden store in Santa Barbara. I’m by no means a professional at this but I’m having fun learning and hope to eat the rewards sooner than later. I’ll post an update when things get growing pretty nicely. I’ve got a variety of different lettuces, peppers, cucumbers, carrots and squash. Here’s a few preliminary pics, sorry they’re just off my iphone. My next set of pics will be better, I promise.

Sorry, I didn’t get any pics of the organic compost I used.
