Becoming a raw foodie has taken me on a journey I never would have expected ... I feel so connected spiritually & physically to our earth! As Spring arrived here in Maine, I knew I wanted to try & grow my own veggies. I did some internet research & talked to a friend of mine who is a master gardener & away I went. I planned out sunny spots for my square foot gardens: 2 4x4 foot beds in the front yard & 2 6x1 foot beds in the driveway. I built the boxes (with the help of my brother), ordered the soil, planned out my veggies, bought some seeds & was ready to roll! YEAH!
My raised beds have started so many great conversations amongst the neighbors who have walked by while I was outside working. Gardening definitely builds community!

Here are a few pics of my beds! I have planted peas, lettuce, spinach, kale, beets, parsley & radish so far & will keep you posted on my progress.
