Now that it officially feels like spring and the sunshine is making us extra chipper, why not take advantage of both the weather and your mood and create a perfectly sized vegetable garden?

And last, the one I most want to try. Tutorial here. (Though I will say that first idea with the wine boxes looks pretty simple, actually)
And who knows... you might like growing your own veggies so much, you'll turn into this guy! :)
