A Garden

Last year we had this tree cut down from the corner of our backyard.  It then looked like this.

I had visions of a garden in that corner. It gets sun most of the day so it should work.

Jason and I set to work to build a box for our plants. What should have been simple turned into a 2 Saturday project. Our orignial measurements didn't quite work because of the curve of the curbing.

Then my Dad gave us some lumber (which saved us about $80), but some of the boards weren't straight.:)




Then some of the corner supports split....

.


..so it ended up being in the shape of Utah.
 



We finished it and I helped Jason lift it and carry it from the garage out, over the back fence and into place.


When our boutious harvest starts to show I'll take a picture and add it. I'll be interested to see what actually grows...especially since below the new dirt there are LARGE tree roots that are still there and too hard to get out.

Here you can see Jacob helping Jason trying to cut out a root. Jason was wearing his steel toed work boots and so Jacob went and found his winter boots so he could be just like Dad.
