Location is key!

Our garden has been producing far beyond my wildest imagination  and I think one of the keys to our success is that the raised beds are right outside our kitchen window. 

We put them there because it is the sunniest place on our property.  I thought it would be weird to put a garden out front between the house and garage and at first it looked a bit odd, but as plants have started to grow, it actually looks nice to drive up to.  



If you are planning to start a new garden I'd highly recommend putting it where you will see it regularly and often.

  2. Your house is beautiful!! This is so true! We spend most of our time out in the back yard, so we put our main garden there. I planted a couple of extra plants in the front yard, and because I haven't watered them every day because we aren't out there, a couple of them died! lol. Location is key! I like it! :)
