Our Garden

Our garden is finally all planted. This year, we put landscape timbers all the way around it, two high. Amazingly, we bought this timbers dirt cheap at the end of the season last year and just guessed at how many we would need and had only 3 feet leftover when we were finished. Had we measured it all out, we would have had more waste than that.

So, good news for me, I have something else to weed eat around! Most of the other planters are completed too, we had a productive weekend.

Official garden inventory:

3 tomato plants (2 Big Boy, 1 Rutgers - in honor of Sean)
3 cucumber plants
2 dill plants
1 Sage
2 Chives
1 rosemary
1 oregano
1 parsley
1 Greek basil
3 rows (20 ' long each) of Top Crop Bush green beans
3 hills of watermelon seeds
18 landscape timbers
countless hours and blood, sweat and tears. And more sweat to come.
