Last year was our first attempt at having a vegetable garden. This year we realized it would be better to have more of a greenhouse. Quent put some hoops over our raised bed and some plastic sheeting and we called it our "greenhouse". We are really glad we did that because our plants are doing great because of it! We've had a pretty cool/wet summer with weeks without sun, so the greenhouse is definitely paying off. We have tomatoes, carrots, green onions, romaine lettuce, green beans, and cilantro. Quent has been doing a great job at keeping up with the gardening since bending over and tending to it myself is out of the question right now.
This is one of the flowers on one of our cherry tomato plants. Most of the tomatoes are cherry, but there is one tomato plant that we didn't plant that came up all on its own. We are guessing it came from the compost pile, so we aren't sure what variety of tomato we will get from that one.

Quent pulled out 3 carrots for our dinner tonight: small, medium, and large. There's also a massive green onion in the picture.
We also got some raspberry transplants this year (and last year). It will be a few years before we have enough raspberries to make a batch of jam, but they are fun to snack on in the meantime.
Some Romaine lettuce. The slugs thought we planted the lettuce for them at first, but thanks to slug bait, our lettuce is free from [new] slug bites.
