The Joy of Raised Garden Beds
About a month ago, I took you on a tour around our yard where flowers played a dominant role and the garden was a little add-on section of my post. Today I present to you the raised garden beds which generated quite a bit of interest. As a retired school teacher, I enjoy the simplicity and reduced work load when growing our vegetables and strawberries in the raised beds. The boxes are very simple to construct from rough cedar boards. I used plastic sheets to cover the ground so I won’t have any problems with weeds. I got the black earth from a nearby garden centre. Bush beans, lettuce, carrots, and strawberries are our favourite fruits and vegetables. Enjoy.

A beautiful tour of the garden, Peter. Thank you.
In case I don’t catch you tomorrow….

We’ve been converting the garden to raised beds. Yes, so much easier to care for. Yours look great, Peter.

The daily picking is producing so many strawberries that my wife is thinking of turning them into jam.

Too bad you can’t send some of those fruits and vegetables to us over the Internet.
