How does my garden grow? Very well, thank you
For my 30th birthday this past March, I asked the boys to build me a raised-bed garden. Daddy drew up some plans and, on a less frigid Sunday afternoon, all three of them put it together.
Well, mostly Daddy put it together. But there was some help with dirt relocation.
Here is the finished product of the first phase of my raised-bed garden.
The second phase, which will be similar but involve three beds instead of two, will be erected in the next two weekends, when the planting of tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers is more appropriate. Meanwhile, this is what my first-phase garden looks like after 6 weeks, also known as now:
An early, bush-type pea, 'Burpeeana':
My beloved, marvelous snap peas, 'Super Sugar Snap':
Behold the amazing tendrils of 'Super Sugar Snap' as it climbs our ghetto homemade trellis!
After a late-March frost killed my first strawberry plants (DUH), these 'Sequoia's are doing well:
A carrot variety the boys specifically bought for me, 'Short n Sweet':
A second carrot variety recommended by one of my gardening books, 'Scarlet Nantes':
