Well let us see if this works.
This is a picture of my garden at the back of my house.
This is a closer picture.
The front box is my arugula.
This is a picture of my lettuce/spinach? I am not sure which one is planted in this box.
I apologize for the first oversized photo. Learning curve with photobucket.

All your photographs are just the right size so no aplogies needed.
Looks as though you have plenty of seedlings growing there for you. Will you plant them in the ground once they're bigger or will you keep them in the planters?

I think those look pretty darn good so far! When you thin them out,, remember, those ones your going to throw away are good in a salad!

I was originally planning on trying to keep to keep everything in their boxes. I am going to watch them though and if necessary I will put in the ground. At this point they are very easy to move onto my patio under the roof overhang, when it gets really windy. I think a few, like my cauliflower & broccoli might get a bit croweded though.
This is the first year I have grown veggies myself, so I will try to remember to periodically post pictures. Then if it looks like I am needing help, by all means give me suggestions.
