Raised Beds



We got the raised beds planted yesterday. Paul made the boxes and helped move them to the garden. I chopped the weeds that were there and waited for it to cool off. Each bed has a layer of newspaper and mulch. Then we mixed garden soil, compost and peat moss.

This bed has two heirloom tomatoes, two yellow peppers, a white eggplant and okra seeds in the area that had nothing growing yet.



This box is where I planted beets and green onions. I wish I'd put one of the heirlooms here but it was late and I just wanted to get it planted. I'll plan better next year. I plan on planted parsley in the herb bed this afternoon.
