When we bought this house, no garden space existed. We made it one of our top priorities. We love home grown tomatoes, zucchini, squash, etc.. We hope to get a strawberry patch going again as well. YUM!
We wanted to have raised beds. They just look so nice.
So Markham and Dylan went to the lumber yard and brought home a truckload of redwood and built 7 beautiful boxes.
It was fun for me to watch these boys spend some quality time together doing man stuff. I coined it "Man-crafting." They don't get to spend that much time together anymore. Back in the good 'ole Utah State days where you found one, the other wasn't far.
He had so much fun working with the big boys.
We struggled to know exactly how to kill our grass for our garden space.
After Markham consulted a friend on the matter, we decided on the"Lasagna Method" We placed cardboard on all the grass and then piled 2 truckloads of manure, hay, and dirt all over it.
I never knew a pile of crap could look that great! Ha!
We plan to plant next spring. Next step is to get the drip lines set up.
So exciting!!
