Garden Update

Garden Update 2015-03-13T16:50:38-05:00

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!
