raised bed gardening

[RAY2310]

Ray, your gardens look so neat and tidy. Very lovely! Is that a chicken coop in the photo- or a garden shed?? Beautiful yard! Counting the days till spring!

Yes that is a chicken coop and a small greenhouse in front.

We use the greenhouse to start plants, mostly a hierloom Italian tomato we grow. The asparagus plants are 4 years in the 4x8 bed. My wife picked about 150 spears last year. The 4x16 bed was 2 year roots planted last year. We did not harvest any last year but should get a good crop this year.
