Bob the Builder Has Some Competition!

We have our raised garden beds built! Friday afternoon Mike was able to take some time off from work and start our garden project. It took us about 2 hours to build our two 3 1/2' X 8' garden beds. We were pretty proud of our finished product (you can see one finished in the bottom photo)!
The next steps will be to level the area where they will sit, set them in place, and fill them up with a special compost/manure/dirt mixture. We also need to build some sort of a frame for our sweet peas, morning glories and sugar snap peas to climb. We have the old gate from the fence that was here when we moved in, but I don't think it's wide enough to accommodate all the climbing things I want in the garden. Once step at a time, I guess!
