Garden Blogging VI

Dad came over Sunday and helped put in the edging. The weather was great, and Dad was a trooper. We finished it off without too many goof-ups or lost fingers. I opted for a product called trex, as it should last forever and it is made from recycled products. It was a little pricey, but probably worth it.

And . . . then it rained Tuesday, so the water needs to dry up before the gravel can be shoveled in and compacted. I have a ton of grading to do this coming weekend, so it's all for the best. Desiree has most of the bed planted with assorted greens, onions, beans and carrots. Beets and peppers are sprouting in milk jugs on our breakfast table, and should be ready for transplanting soon. So, the structure is almost complete, and then it's on to other outdoor fun.
