Great layout - and - I love this story! We have a big garden in our backyard and a separate smaller lettuce garden near the house. We grow several varieties - I just get one tray of each that they have at the garden center! I just love being able to go out and pick a handful of lettuce for sandwich or a bowlful for dinner.

It's wonderful isn't it? We're hoping to have a much bigger garden this year! :) Should grow well with all the chicken and goose manure! :) Thanks Karyn Sue!

No chickens or geese here - BUT we do have a mulch pile and I am very consistent with adding all (appropriate) table scraps to it. I do think it has made a huge difference in the quality of our soil!

We were really surprised that anything made it! Our few fava bean plants gave us some beans too later on!
