Garden Update

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 4:50 pm by Tony Jones

I’ll admit, a couple neighbors gave me odd looks. Not because I tore up a bunch of my lawn and planted a big vegetable garden, but because when they asked where I learned how to do it, I responded, “My blog readers.” Thanks to everyone who gave me advice. I’ve tried to follow it.

Here’s what we did:

If you look closely, you can see the old garden on the left, dwarfed by a 7-year-old.

No, I didn't rent a power sod cutter. That explains the size of my right quadricep.

Built the raised beds with the heaviest lumber that Home Depot carries.

More pics below the fold:

Everything seems to be at right angles.

Not shown: hauling 7 yards of soil, a wheelbarrow at a time, from the front yard to the back.

Stuff is growing!

Watch this space for visual updates. And thanks again for all the advice!
