Our Garden

T and I got to work on our garden this weekend. We're putting it in the Tucson house since that's where he currently lives. We went to Lowes to buy our supplies and well, there's not much to say about it yet because we didn't do any of the actual planting yet, just built the box.

We bought 64 feet worth of wood that we had cut. After taking it home, we treated the pieces with a water seal waterproofer. After it dried, we nailed the pieces of the wood together with brackets and laid the bottom with this landscaping fabric (to avoid weeds). Since we did not have a staple gun, we thumb tacked it into the wood which seems to work just as well.


All in all it was a great project and I'm glad we did it together. I was a bit of a whiner because I'm not much for manual labor, but I am a bit of a perfectionist so I was irked that the pieces were not straight. But T just kept saying "We're not making it for NASA."

So voila! We have a 24 feet by 4 feet garden box that is about 8 inches deep. We're going to need quite a bit of soil. More to come as we get moving on it.
