Well I am back from vacation and ready to start blogging again.  I was visiting my friend, Kelly and her family in the Denver area.  Kelly bought this great looking and sturdy Keter Elevated Garden Bed that she has on her porch from Sam’s Club.

I took a peak on their webpage for the cost which is $87.97.   Here’s what you get for the money. . . It holds 31 gallons of dirt, is made of polypropylene resin and is fade resistant. It also says that it has its own watering system which I forgot to ask Kelly about!  The dimensions are 44.9″ L x 19.4″ W x 29.8″ H so it saves on back strain.

Now it’s time to take a look inside to see what Kelly is growing. . . tomatoes, peppers, flowers, basil, parsley, cilantro, several types of lettuce.  It looks great with the small plants in front.

If someone in my family buys one (or two) elevated garden beds for me (THIS IS A HINT!), I would use one for strawberries. lettuce, annual herbs or carrots.  The options are endless!
