IT BEGINS

This was another dry weekend, and the afternoon temperature was in the 50’s so the first step in this year’s garden was taken!

Oscar put together the two garden beds I purchased toward the end of last summer (when I realized I should stick with my original approach of raised beds and containers).  

These are 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 17 inches tall. So, they will provide a good amount of growing space, but are not so wide that I have to climb across the bed to reach plants. Plus, they are tall enough that I won’t have to do as much bending. They are made of powder-coated steel so they are sturdy and should be long-lasting.

The rest of the month will be spent loading them up about halfway with cardboard and other biodegradable material. Then, we will fill them the rest of the way with soil.
