    New Garden Box

    Tore down the old shed, but the wood and everything is still piled up. (Waiting for dumpster). A neighbor over the driveway asked about using some of the wood, which I had no problem with whatsoever. Talked to him about a trade... I wanted some of wood to build a garden box and asked if he could just use his saw to cut some pieces to size for me - I'm thinking just nail some together into a rectangle and put int he yard - and he could use anything else. He offered to make the box! Two hours later, I have a beautiful box, lined and ready to load with compost! He and I both agreed... bartering rocks!!!

    Thanks, everyone. Spent yesterday filling new box with compost and soil. Had help from the kids next door with the seeds and now have a row of radishes and a row of turnips planted. Rainy, wet day today, so timing was great for once. LOL.

    Took the four shelves from the pantry makeover and made one last garden box for the summer. Turned out to be way bigger than expected and will need to get a couple more bags of soil. LOL. Planning some fall carrots. Older seeds, so hopefully then will grow.
