New Garden Bed



Well, the weather has been so nice over the last couple of weeks we have been starting to plan the garden for the summer. As we started to place things in the garden layout we soon figured out that we needed some more space then the existing raised bed. So, with a trip to Lowes and $40 we put together another raised bed up on the patio. You can see in the picture below that we still have a couple of more pieces to go on the corners and all of the soil needs to be put in.

The other raised bed still has some of the parsnips from last year growing as well as the garlic that was planted last fall. In addition we have planted some asparagus and rhubarb next to the garlic but have not seen any shoots come up yet. Once we get the soil in the bed we will just have to wait until the last frost has passed to start planting.

  1. It's so nice to think you've actually got something GROWING in February out there! Sounds like you'll have that second garden bed full in no time!
