Hello Friends, we started a big project last week. We built a raised bed garden. I am so excited and happy about this, I cannot wait for spring. The photos of the project will be dirt, you will have to use your imagination to see vegetables and flowers.
My husband did most of the work. I helped when he asked me to move something or fetch something. I helped haul some dirt.
In the meantime I collected seeds and started to put our other gardens to bed.
French Marigold seed pods. Ready for harvest.
The dirt pile! We had dirt hauled in and dumped in our driveway. We used wheelbarrows to move the dirt to the backyard to fill the raised beds.
I helped fill the wheelbarrows. I could not drive them around to the backyard, that was all Jeremy.
I put away our birdbaths, planted spring bulbs and cleaned our other gardens.
Jeremy also built me a tower or obelisk for my climbing rose. And another for a spring planting project I will be doing.
We put a layer of cardboard down, home compost and our brought in dirt into our raised beds. We are still thinking about what we will do for the paths along the raised beds. Pea gravel, straw, wood mulch? That will be a project for 2025.
And I harvested a few strawberries to add to our fresh salads.
