Will have to write only as it is currently raining out now.... Just built a new 2' x 10' raised bed last week and filled up yesterday with both soil and plants. Mostly peppers and a few tomatoes. Will try to get pictures tomorrow. My last raised bed of over 10 years that was 2' x 20' finally rotted out. I had to replace it.

Well, I took a photo, but am currently embarrased to post it as my 'garden' is still small. Plus, someone forgot to water it for a couple of days so the plants need some attention..... I moved the garden location as well as I used to have a 'canopy' over top of my old one and my new one does not. I never realized how much my corrogated plastic roof helped till now. It appears that it helped keep the moisture in, but I may be wrong. Seems liek I need to learn, I mean remember to water it daily.....

Bunch of nice gardens guys. Starting to build some raised beds tomorrow. Guess I should start growing some stuff since my last name is Gardner.

Goodness Joe, that's pretty major league. 3/4 garden soil and 1/4 manure would yield many veggies. The previous owner of this property left me a wooden bed that eventually rotted out. Your's should last.

Peony's are about to pop. Next week I think.

Thanks Eric & Bob , nice peony’s Bob. This is phase 1 , I am going to fill the beds half way with oak firewood. And then dead leaves and grass and top it off with what Bob suggested. When these are operational I am going to build a couple more. I built a small one out of rough cut hickory for my asparagus bed

Me too. Eric is blessed.

We had two German Shepards early in our marriage. Kim and Tin. Remarkable dogs. Bred them, had about six puppies. Fun time.

Peonys. I take no credit. The previous owner of this property planted them. I neither water or fertilize yet they come up every year better than the last. Beautiful flowers with an aroma that fills the kitchen. Just cut another one, filled the vase with water and watched an ant make it's appearance.
