We've been talking about a raised bed vegetable garden for a while now and last weekend we decided to make it happen. "Why does it have to be raised?" my sister asked when she was visiting. "Well..." we said in unison "the dogs." Also, the raised bed ensures that our veggies are grown in soil that doesn't have super toxic chemicals and heavy metals and we we won't break our backs tending the garden.
When you consider all of that it really is irresistable...so we made the trip to Home Depot and purchased the wood and then it was onto City People's for some soil...
And then we put it all together....
Seeing something shiny and new in the otherwise run-down yard emphasizes how much work needs to be done. But we know we need to start small and work our way up to something amazing. (Like our back yard neighbors...at least we have open fencing so we can be inspired by their masterpiece!)
Stay tuned for an update after we visit the Seattle Tilth Edible Plant Sale on March 20th.
