This weekend we also put bark in the flower beds in our back yard. It made them look so much better! Here's a picture before we added bark.

Raised Garden Beds
Now that spring is coming we are very excited to start a garden! We have the perfect place for it this year on the side of house. It has basically been wasted space for the last year, so we decided to put it to use and plant our garden there.
We got some wood from a deck that my husband's parents had torn out the previous year and were able to make two 8 foot by 4 foot raised garden beds! And when I say we made the raised beds, I mean my husband made them! But I planted all the plants and seeds.
Right now we have a bunch of plants started: arugula, spinach, cilantro, parsley, peas, onions, radishes rosemary, chives, bok choy and carrots! It will be a fun summer tending to our new garden! We also have our spoon garden markers in there so we can remember where we planted all of our seeds.
This weekend we also put bark in the flower beds in our back yard. It made them look so much better! Here's a picture before we added bark.
Kind of boring looking before. And here is what it looked like after we added the bark!
I think it looks so much better. The holes there are where we started potato plants! Here's another part of our yard with the bark.

ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found this! We are going to put in a raised garden but I can't decide exactly how I want it. I think I am leaning more towards one like yours. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

ReplyDeleteOh, what a great idea! The raised beds would definitely make the yard a lot more interesting. The bark was very helpful in adding life to your yard. So, how is your garden doing these days?
ReplyDelete"When I was applying for a loan to purchase my building as a small business owner in a tough situation, conventional banks said they could not help me. Mr Benjamin, a loan officer sat down with me, heard my situation and decided that I was worth taking a chance on. Here we are 5 years later and I have just renewed my loan for another 7 years. I couldn’t have purchased my building without the help of Mr Benjamin and will be forever indebted to them for giving me a chance when no one else would."
