Our vegetable garden

I've always loved having a vegetable garden, so at the firehouse I decided to go all out... We got some great raised cedar garden beds for our side yard. The parts arrived on a palette and had to be assembled. They went together pretty easily (with no tools!).




We have four beds, each 3' by 12', plenty of real estate for planting.


The beds are at a pretty good height for Ben to practice standing, as an added bonus.


We had six cubic yards of dirt delivered, and spent a couple of hot days shoveling it into the beds. Thanks to Tony's parents for all the manual labor during their visit!


We shoveled A LOT of dirt.


Our lovely vegetables are growing really well. How's that for local produce??
Now if I can just teach Ben to pull the weeds up but not the brussel sprouts, we'll be all set!
