Another $100 for lumber later, we now have 4 more beds. The photo above is of last year’s, which I cleaned up on Saturday and planted with peas, carrots, lettuce, kale, and the Asian stir fry mix. Those little seeds are buggers! Hoping I can thin them out later.
I mentioned to DH how it’s amazing how plants grow out of seeds that are so tiny; he replied that humans come from even tinier seeds. Ha ha.
I’m so thankful for him building the beds. Here are the rest:
Even though it looks like it doesn’t get much sun, it does get quite a bit in the morning and early afternoon. We’ll see how it works! Now we just have to get dirt delivered.
DH’s hops:
These will be full of gorgeous hops next summer.
One tool I found super helpful was the garden planner. It helped me know how many seeds to put in each square.
The seeds were a mix of leftovers from last year and some new from Baker.
Are you planting anything this year?

Thanks for the inspiration! I am hoping to plan our raised beds this week w/ a friend who is a much better gardener than this brown-thumbed one :).
nice 🙂
I am suggesting that the raised beds not be attached to the house because of the moisture of daily watering and possible wood rot or termites.
Had not thought of that. They are not attached, perhaps I’ll scootch them out a few feet.
Hoping to get some of my little seedlings put in the ground today!
Looking good, I can’t wait to start digging into the earth. I’m about to go off to see what Hops are. I seriously have no clue but have seen the word a lot in this past week. Love your little Garden area.
