April showers are on their way, so I figured it was time to finally build the raised bed boxes in the garden that I've been meaning to build for quite a while now.
First, a little about the garden: It's teeny tiny and only a very small part of it (about 80 square feet) gets decent sun. And that's in the middle of the walkway, so even that small space isn't plantable. So I dug up the existing pineapple sage bush and made way to build a raised bed in the small corner of the garden that is usable.
Here's the before and after pictures of the project.
I planted:
* Cherry Tomatoes
* Early Girl Tomatoes
* Brussels Sprouts
* Snap Peas
* Sage
* Mesculin
* Lettuce
* Spinach
* Strawberries
It's probably too many plants for such a small box, but we'll see what happens. . .
Oh, and also, the Meyer lemon tree has a ton of new blossoms since we got back from India. And I noticed today that it has a kumquat-sized lemon growing. (This is the biggest fruit it's had, so hopefully it's happy.)
the raised bed looks great!
ReplyDeleteis there anything nicer than picking some stuff and then immediately eating it?
our winter garden got planted out yesterday.....and the traditional easter rain has set in, so i won't have to handwater for a while.
