I'm so excited to have raised beds in our backyard. It's just one of the many, MANY reasons I love this house. The girls and I have decided to plant carrots, cucumbers, green beans, lettuce, and watermelon. Now, this is in addition to the strawberries we have in a container, the chamomile we started a few weeks ago, and all of the other berry bushes and fruit trees that were already in the yard.
And Ronnie was awesome - he went ahead and bought a tiller attachment for his Ryobi. The girls were a big help in turning the garden over and amending the soil. So this is what we have so far:
Of course, we will have to see how this experiment holds up....
