We were commissioned to build a raised bed for my mom while we are in town. We started last weekend, between rainstorms, by leveling out the area and getting things ready. We had to wait a few days until the weather improved and boy did mother nature pull through for us! It’s has been gorgeous all day long! We braved the crowds at Home Depot, and with our list in hand we selected our cedar boards. After tackling the puzzle of fitting  four 8 ft. long boards into our little 2 door hatchback we were ready to go!

Bada-bing bada-boom… raised bed!

It was so fun to accomplish such a task especially on such a beautiful day!  Now we’re imagining all the yummy things that will grow in there: carrots, squash, lettuce and more! If we get really ambitious, we might level out the ground next to the bed and try adding a bench and an arch. Or maybe we’ll just focus on the garden for now!
