Ben and his family have planted a nice garden in raised beds. When I visited today, Sam and Joshua harvested the first radishes and they planted some lettuce, spinach, beans, peas, sunflowers, pumpkins, and arugula. Yeah, they're elitist arugula planters too, just like the Obamas. Ben built a small green house with plastic sheets and tubing. Because they're close to an old smelter in Tacoma, they have to plant in raised beds (high levels of arsenic in the native soil). In the greenhouse, they have tomatos and peppers as well as first crop radishes. You can see this great head of red lettuce, really big and beautiful. They're excited to harvest later in the summer.
