Sweet Pea and I built it about a week or so ago. It turned out pretty nice as you can see off to the right here in the Piccaso of Pictures of it. We worked real hard on it using the level quite often to keep it, you guessed it "level"....
Anyway its not that hard you just start at the low point in the lawn if you have a slope and you go both ways and if your lucky like we were the two sides come together, "level"...
Anyway there it is and its all planted in Strawberries, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Peppers, Okra, Cantalope, Squash, Radishes, Spinach, Onions and green beans...it looks small but there is a lot of stuff planted in it and maybe this size garden I will take care of all year long. I remember a few years back having a pretty good size garden with a big tiller and they always start out looking real ambitious and neat and then the weeds come and the heat and you head for the shade and hope no one will notice.
But this garden, I think being close to the house, will be taken care of by someone, that someone is left to be seen but maybe two someone's will want to take care of it a bit who knows. Also it is close to a garden hose for watering when the dry weather comes and the heat. I think it will be fun and we probably will get a lot of vegetables to eat from it...Cost effective will may take a few years to recoup the 330 bucks for the landscape block. But the soil and the labor was free and the wear and tear on the level was very minimal for sure..
Have a great and joyfull day out there...this weekend my grandson Clinton Sheets is getting married to a very pretty inside and out gal named Karie Proffit. No doubt grandpa will be packin a camera and it just may be a blog story coming up...
