    2011 was the year of the sideyard--new redwood boxes and a whole new area to plant!

Thanks! My awesome husband made them out of leftover redwood fencing...I couldn't believe how great they turned out!

I think your garden is full of interest starting with this photo.  Your husband put part of his soul into the building of the redwood boxes which you love!  I like the arbor which invites you to come into the garden.

@Liz:I couldn't afford to buy an arbor last year, so I bought some willow switches at Ikea and made it myself. It was a pretty fun process, but you can see by its precarious lean that it didn't quite turn out like I expected. :)  The beans that grew on it were tasty though!I may try it again another time (I like making things), but perhaps use a different approach to make sure it is more stable.

beautiful container garden!  You really know how to make up for not being able to use the ground.

@JMTKMS:Thanks! I'm hoping that I can make the area more attractive as well as useful this year. We shall see.  :)
