A deck is one of those outdoor features that quietly holds a home together—part entertaining space, part visual centerpiece, part “let’s drink coffee here instead of inside” sanctuary. But give it enough summers, storms, and seasons, and even the best deck eventually starts looking like it’s been through a few too many outdoor barbecues. Weather doesn’t destroy a deck overnight. It wears it down slowly, like a favorite pair of jeans that frays thread by thread until one day you realize, Oh… that’s not patina. That’s damage. As deck boards cup, fade, or roughen, they can subtly chip away at curb appeal and, ultimately, your home’s value.

Early growers, mid-season staples, and late crops that hang on when the weather changes. It's less dramatic but much more reliable.

Let's take a look at how you can easily build a garden that feeds you right through the seasons.
