    I finally got the stairstep bed filled. I planted some squash (deeper than usual), peas, Brussels Sprouts and broccoli. I also planted some radishes in the small bed because my girls decided that I didn't plant my seeds right so they had to fix it for me 🤣🤣🤣

    This is the pallet wood bed that my husband and I built over the weekend. It's probably my favorite raised bed yet. I'm trying to figure out a way of coloring it but I want it to be naturally colored and not just weathered. If anyone might have an idea of what I can do to give it some color...

    This is the garlic that I sprouted in a jar of water. Of the about 12 or 13 cloves I got 10 to sprout. I planted them in my stairstep raised metal garden bed. I was actually happy with the results. I will keep everyone posted on the progress as well as the next head of garlic that I am currently...

I will do my best to take pictures to post and also identify the methods as well as the plants and basically the who, what, when, where, why...

    These are the two beds my husband and I made for the garden. I know that the small one is uneven but we decided to move it and turned it upside down.

    I was unable to get the garlic planted yesterday do to the wind kicking up. Today I went out and planted the cloves. 10 cloves with green tops and the last one was 3/4 cloves but because only one had a green top I just planted it as is.

    Right now I am pondering the idea of going out to the garden and planting in the rain. It's not like I can do much more than get the flu or a cold so I just might be uploading some pictures of the garden area today or tomorrow. I can put my 9 garlic cloves in the bottom of the big raised bed.

    It's going to take more filler to get the big raised bed filled. It's a good thing I have plenty of paper and cardboard to shred. I also need to clean out the chickens bedding and also the rabbit so I should have more than enough for the garden. I started a head of garlic in a jar of water and...

    I started filling my big raised bed up. I got the wood in it and I added some shredded paper. I have to finish filling it with soil tomorrow. If I don't get it done tomorrow then I'll have to wait until the weekend because we've got rain expected for the rest of the week.

    How is everything going? Hopefully not flooded like my back yard was. Just thought I'd drop in to say hi.

    I lived in a town where the closest neighbor was a mile away and the bus ride was 7 miles. The General store was also the Post office and the local saloon and no they didn't call it a bar. The principal taught the 8th graders. It was awesome

    I remember my grandma taking me to Grand Auto and buying me a toy box for Christmas. I remember her taking me to Woolworths and getting me a sundae and I also remember going to Kmart and getting like 10 sandwiches for 2.00 or something like that and they put all the sandwiches in a plastic bag...

    That's a great idea but can I use a Bud Light bottle can for the arm considering I don't like wine?. :lol:

    Welcome to the thread. Those beans are very beautiful. It's nice to meet people that want to carry on the family way/farm.

    Yes but it's supposed to be dry tomorrow so hopefully I can get something done to stop that water from coming up so close to the house.
