Liz’s new raised garden bed.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who has sent in their photographs and stories. I hope by sharing other peoples pictures and stories here on One Hundred Dollars a Month we can all have a rock star garden this summer. Keep them coming!
Check out these potato towers Liz put together. I think these are great! Liz’s potato towers look totally different than the potato towers I made. And if you ask me, that is one of the best parts about gardening. Everyone has a different method, but the end result is pretty much the same.
Liz also made a small greenhouse to house the cantaloupe she is trying to grow. She started them in January because her area does not have enough gardening days of nice weather to grow them in a regular plot.
And check out the seedlings she is growing in natural sunlight. I’d say Liz is off to a great start. No matter where you live or what supplies you have access to, anyone can have a garden. The possibilities are endless. You’ve just got to get out there and grow!
Way to go Liz. Keep us posted, I would love to update this post with some more of your pictures throughout the gardening season.

Yay for seeing a fellow western NYer! I love her cantaloupe idea; I’m going to have to try that next year 🙂

Hi Liz- I’m in Upstate too. Though near Albany. Try growing Minnesota Midget Melons. They are tiny melons that are sweet just like cantaloupe but have a shorter growing period. Perfect for me in zone 5b. And because they are small they can be grown vertical up a trellis to save space.
I discovered them last year and fell in love because they were tasty but also adorable. And I firmly believe in adorable foods!
