We’ve Made Our Beds …

After a long winter of doing indoor projects, it feels so good to get outside and dig in the dirt! Spring is here! It’s time to garden! Time to plant seeds, and pull weeds! Oh yeah, good old Mother Earth is gonna give up the goods, all we got to do is give her a stage for the performance.

Trouble is, the old stage had seen better days.

It is time for some new digs. A nicer place to raise our little urban vegetable crops. Time to celebrate the first days of spring by building new raised garden beds to replace the tired old rotting ones that we inherited when we bought the house. The old beds may have great soil in them, but the wood had seen better days.

With a little help from Sears, Home Despot, HGTV (natch), and Rick’s dad’s pickup, we are building two new garden beds and removing three old ones. We have pre-assembled all the parts for two identical beds, and we completed the first bed today. It is a lot of work, but it sure is fun too.

We’ve made our beds, now it’s time to grow stuff in them.
