My Raised Garden Project

I said it since last Thursday that  blankety Debby was coming this way..my sister is a human barometer, when the rod in her back starts to aching, you know bad weather is coming. Not only that, but the humidity around here has been so thick you could cut it with a  knife. It has been like  steamy jungle tropics in these parts, okay I know Its Summer time in Florida,  you don't need to tell me about the humidity, I am from here...but seriously, Its rare I see it like this..and Debby is like a bad house guest, that doesn't want to leave. Forecasters are saying we may be dealing with her until Saturday!. 

Well, enough of Debby--This past Saturday Senior got to work on what is the first of several raised garden beds for us. I absolutely love it..mainly because it is elevated and I won't be on my hands and knees digging.. We plan on adding about 2-3 more. The boys love it too, we planted pickling cucumber seeds in this one, and every day they have ran out to check for sprouts.. Senior decided to play a joke and put a blade of grass and came in telling us one had sprouted..so the kids went running out the door..Needless to say they weren't happy with the joke.


We Used The Wood From Sod Pallats as the legs, and bottom support




Looks kind of like a coffin uh?



We put plain pavers under the legs to help keep it level.
