Garden Update

Earlier this summer my parents helped us plant our first garden.  Here were the humble beginnings: 
Here it is now! It's amazing that all of this sprang up from seeds and water. 

Everett is proud of the garden.  He announces to anyone nearby that these are "Everett's [green] beans."
We have had so much yellow squash.  This was our first. 

Our first tomato--so dang good! 

This is our latest haul of green beans.  As my dad pointed out that we picked a "whole truck load."   Everett really has helped us with the garden. In this case Tom and I would pick the beans and hand them to Everett.  We tried to put them in the blue bowl you can see here, but E insisted that they go in his truck.  
 We have really enjoyed having a small garden at our house.  We planted our garden pretty late this year, so we were limited in what we could plant.  We kept it simple--tomatoes, green beans, and yellow squash.  We're already dreaming about what we can plant in the future because it has been so fun to tackle this garden project as a family.  Not to mention the produce really does taste so so so good!

So is a raised bed better than a flat one, that is level with the ground? Or is it more convenient in some way?
