The previous post's pictures were taken in mid March, so now to update you on what has changed!
I've planted almost everything now, only a couple of things left. In the 5'x3' planter, I planted two squares with 8 pole beans, two squares with 8 snap peas, one square of cucumber (I am going to plant another square today), two squares with 4 garlic plants, 3 squares with 9 onion plants, and 4 squares with 4 strawberry plants each.
In the 4'x4' planter, I planted two squares with one broccoli plant each, two squares with one cauliflower plant each, two squares of 16 carrots each, one square with 16 radishes. I have 4 squares for spinach which I am planting every two weeks so I don't have a boatload of spinach all at once, I also have 4 squares of lettuce which I am doing the same thing. Here are two really cool paint pictures I made up to show you what is planted where, and also some real photos :)

So far I've planted two squares of spinach and lettuce each. I'm not sure what I want to put in the bottom 'basil' square. Any ideas? |
5'x3' planter pictures. Today I put up a few tomato cages for the beans, peas and cucumbers. You will see them in a future post.

| Onions! |

And now for the 4'x4' planter box.
 |
| This is the first square of spinach! The lettuce is barely showing, so will update later on that! |
 |
| Here is one square of broccoli. The cauliflower looks the same so far. |
 |
| Here is my square of radishes (I don't even like them!!) |
I also have two brussel sprout plants that my mother-in-law gave me.
I have planted 2 pots with German butterball potatoes, and two with Red Pontiac potatoes, but there isn't anything to show yet.
Here are the blueberry plants.
 |
| Happy little lovers :) |
Also, my basil and cilantro plants are looking great!
That's all I have for now! I WILL post again in a week or two about the garden, with photos of the growth! YAY! I love gardening and can't wait to teach E where his food comes from!
