Raised beds







This week I'm gardening.  I got the raised beds going and am planting tomatoes and peppers in them to see how it goes.  Time will be the teacher here as to what to grow in them.  I'm a little late for this year because the ground has been so wet.  I planted some Red Currants and Gooseberries in a raised bed along the fence in a spot that stays wet longer,that will put it to some good use.
   Macy helped me plant.....she dug some holes,took a ride in the wagon and sang me some songs.  We had to put up the tent so she could "camp".  



After all of this work we had to rest under the maple tree.  But first she played with a toad in the garden.  I just wish that her mother was here to play with it too!


Then Ginny and her painted some clay pots.  Macy really gets into this and does quite well.  She say's that she is an artist.  I tend to believe her.

Resting under the tree.


End of the day.

  1. Those are some nice looking raised beds, Uncle Tom. We have to do everything in raised beds at our house, and i think you'll find it is a whole lot easier to keep weed free.

  2. Thanks Kevin,I didn't think that you looked at this! So far I love them. The tomatoes are doing great although I might have put in too many in that small space. Later I will put up the hoops. Keep well. Love that you are making beer. I like a good dark brew.
