Garden Addicted
Well, I think it's about time I started a garden thread of my own. A place where I can post what I'm planting, how it's doing and any changes I need to make for the following year.
I started a few years ago with a small 10' raised garden bed.
This progressed to a BTE garden.
I decided to expand my BTE garden....
and add 4x8 "beds" to keep the growing areas separate. I would know where to apply the compost instead of composting the whole area.
As you can see, the bermuda grass was slowly taking over. Did I mention the termites? I had those beds in less than a year and the termites were already going to town on them. DH & I decided we would use cement blocks. They cost a bit more than the wood, but would last a lot longer in our area. Putting them up has gone slower than I wanted, but we're getting there.
I love the height of them. They make gardening with RA & Osteo so much easier! I still have 3 more to put in and then redo my asparagus bed that is to the left.
I'll post more tomorrow to bring it up to date.
