final outcome (well kind of, I still have a few more plants to put in and some flowers to plant).

rom two Saturdays ago after my original post about the garden. I think I did a pretty good job. Unfortunately I only got the one box cleared before I was D-O-N-E. It was a hot day!! I did manage to mark where the other box would go but a cute doggie I know knocked it all over by the time the next Saturday came around.
A few days later we ran over to the Home Depot and got top soil, manure, and compost and dumped them all in to fill them up then Friday I picked the plants. We have red, yellow, orange, and green bell pepper plants, a banana pepper plant, tomatoes, zucchini, and cucumbers. I also picked up a variety of herbs - basil, cilantro, sage, and catnip(for the kitties) to plant on my patio side area (see above picture). And to the right is the finished product. The areas that don't have cedar chips are awaiting plants. I'm not sure why the picture is slanted to much but it gives you an idea.
That's Bootz hanging out by the catnip. And this little set up I got from my boss (or I guess previous boss now) for free. We got four chairs and a lounge chair. I have two tiki torches that go on either side but they kept falling down so I put them away until we need them. All in all, I think we've got a pretty nice back yard now. A lot better than the "fortress of solitude" we had before. I'm looking forward to spending more time out there and to the delicious white salsa that will hopefully come from the fruits of the garden!!
