Garden beds built

[Figgerlickinggood]

My husband finished making the garden beds. Each one is 14 inches high and 8ft long.

My $3 tulip bargain are starting to bloom. Also my little free apple tree gift from TY TY nursery is starting to lead out.

I thought about getting some of those blocks.
Let the magic begin!

What did you plant in them? 5 stars for you.

Potatoes - the old borders were leftover wood from Hurricane Sally and were disintegrating, doing nothing really but harboring black ants. So, the potatoes were already in place!

@Figgerlickinggood Teresa what are you going to grow in your new beds?

@Figgerlickinggood Teresa what are you going to grow in your new beds?

Tomatoes some basil and try one more time to grow decent peppers. My first attempt last year at peppers wasn’t good.

I didn't know about them either till I saw on YouTube with gardener Scott. He made a video called make a garden bed in 5 minutes. After watching that video I just had to make one. My husband just loved putting it together. No holes to dig. My Husbands back thanked me too.

I didn't take into account that the new beds the hoops are taller than last year's garden beds. The shade cloths came up short. Oh well maybe that's a good thing. The plants are shaded while getting airflow at the bottom.

You consider cutting the hoops to fit the shade cloth?

Actually I want the height because it’s for the indeterminate tomatoes.

Teresa your tomato, and basil planter boxes look fantastic. Very easy on your husbands back. Also very easy on the eyes they look good.
