I did not know how much joy a garden could bring until recently! The excitement of seeing what you planted grow and flourish and biggest bonus- it changes daily, makes gardening so fun!
I obviously think gardening is more fun than Bailey does 
Big thanks to my husband who helped me build this raised garden bed that has become my hobby!! We used this plan and soil combination (from pinterest, what did we do before that?) to plant*:
Basil
Red and Yellow Bell Peppers
Jalapenos
Eggplant
Yellow crookneck Squash
Mr. Stripey Heirloom Tomatoes
German Johnson Heirloom Tomatoes
*I bought all of my plants from Lowes (with a 10% military discount) and saved the receipt because they will replace your plant if it dies!
Here it was the day I planted everything April 9th and today May 15th!
In just a moth everything has doubled! Love this baby bell pepper!
Squash!
What are you growing in your garden!?

You are so fabulous & talented! My track record with plants is bad, worse, and dead very quickly!
I think the California weather conditions are a bit more forgiving than Texas
