Spring has Sprung...

I have been saying for years, that I wanted to try my hand at planting a garden. I felt like I had the perfect space to use. So after some short consideration... I decided that this was the spring to do it, and just decided... WE'RE DOING IT TODAY. So on our way home from getting a coffee, I made Steve go to the Home Depot, where I quickly assessed what I was going to need. We made our purchase, and off we went. I wanted to build a bed... but the premade boxes were pretty expensive (or just more than I wanted to pay). So I got a brilliant (if I do say so myself) idea on the way home. There were some homes under construction in the area... I thought we could drive by and see if they had any scrap wood in the trash dumpsters. They did! I loaded up my truck, while Steve and Sean yelled at me to put the stuff back.... (of course, I did not listen). And here's what Sean and I created!




Pumpkins and watermellon in these two larger areas...
Corn and Romaine Lettuce in these smaller boxes.
