The Garden Box

You have to realize, this is more than box to me.  It's more than a garden to me.

This is the garden my kids built for me! After years of not being able to garden because I was taking care of my kids, now I can garden because my kids are taking care of me!

I've wanted to try a raised square foot garden for a few years now, but never quite had the money to set it up.  The kids built this one out of spare folding closet doors, spare boards, angle irons, and some extra paint.





 We filled it with compost, peat moss and topsoil.

We marked off one foot sections with roofing nails and cheery yellow yarn.

Then we started planting!
