A couple of years ago, we assembled a raised-bed garden in the back yard, and we've been planting in it with varying levels of commitment year-to-year. Last year, we planted a bunch of interesting items, but most of our crop was eaten by deer. Hopefully we won't have the same problem this year.
We stopped by Pickering Valley Feed and Farm Store to select our plants. They tend to have a better selection and variety of vegetables than you can usually 
find at big stores like Lowes. Our selection of veggies included corn, string beans, broccoli, tomatoes, and green bell peppers.
