Did you start your garden and how is it coming along??
Oh yeah we did. We have cucumbers, tomatoes, basil and zucchini growing. I'll post up a pic soon.
Here's some pics. The raised bed is just three 2x8 pieces of wood. I had one cut in half and just drilled them together. Cost me about $12 for the wood.

Right on, bruh.. Your doing it right, start off with a manageable size garden and then expand every year!! So tell me, whats the hardest part of gardening?? Im thinking about starting a garden in my backyard and I dont have a clue where to start???
Parents have always been into gardening.
Pops is more into plants and shrubs, flowers, etc. He took a continuing education course (landscape technician) about 10 years back when he'd retired.
Mom's bigger into growing fruits and veggies. Her and her boyfriend have about 3 plots out in the yard at their place, a small greenhouse, and some trees (peaches or nectarines). The plots and greenhouse are for lettuce, kale, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The best yields are with the lettuce & tomatoes.

Building the raised bed cause I was having a hard time finding 2x8 wood and then my drill decided to be a little bitch and die on me.
Other than that it's really easy. Just find a spot in your yard that gets good sun and then hit up Lowes or Home Depot to get some soil. The soil always goes on sale so keep an eye out. I used about 4 of these two cubic feet of soil. They were in sale for $6 each.
Then I added some organic fertilizer to the soil I bought from Walmart. The pic is the large but I bought the four pound bag for $5.
Finally you can hit up Walmart, Home Depot or Lowes for live plants or for seeds for earlier in the season.
That's it. It was easy as hell. Wife has already used some of the basil in cooking.
Building a raised bed is easy as hell. This video gave me the idea and it's as easy as she made it look.

i heard garlic is good chasing away mosquitoes ,boiling them in water and spraying it around the garden ,
Any other place you get your summer bulbs from? The review on these weren’t the greatest
Try local nurseries. I don't know any other online spots to get them.
find your local farmers markets usually in a field or parking lot on Sat or Sun mornings - just ask around
Also check out Lowes and Home Depot etc
I got this joint in the spring and this catches everything. when we moved into the new house last year you couldn't even sit outside for 10 minutes without being bitten....this year 0 mosquito bites...... Follow the instructions and do not put it where people will congregate. In order for it to work you leave it on 24 hours a day.

Ever since I planted some lavender and rosemary plants in my front yard, I haven't had a single instance of mosquito harassment any time I stepped outside the entire summer. I would plant some in my backyard too but I'd need to do some landscaping to clear a space for it first.

My garden was nice until I left for work. Came back and my shit was in shambles and the structure I built to protect the strawberries collapsed. My wife and niece just left the shit laying there.
I'm sorry for laughing bruh. 
The way you described that shit got me dying. 
I know you was madder than George Jefferson when Mr. Bentley came by the appartment seeing that shit.
