I thought I'd share some photos of my backyard garden. I live in Arlington, VA, which is a close-in suburb of Washington DC. Most of the lot sizes are very small, but I've been blessed with 3 lots in the middle of town, so I put them to good use. I follow the square-foot gardening method (for the most part) and currently have 8 boxes, with some extra items along the fence. These photos are a mix from various days this past spring and summer. I hope you like them! If you'd like to see the entire garden, I've got them in two facebook albums:
2011 Garden and Yard:
and
2011 Garden Part II
Seedlings that I started indoors and later set out into the garden
Asparagus emerging in early spring.

Blueberries!
Thornless blackberries.
Tomatoes in self-watering containers on the front walk. This was an experiment that worked extremely well.

Awesome, looks so good! Congratulations.
I love the pic of your daughter 'grazing' in the garden!
Thanks! Sometimes, things never make it to the table - and sugar snap peas are usually one of them (along with berries). I'm glad that my daughter enjoys the grazing. I told the kids they never had to ask, just go out there and eat! - Catie
