It's not square and it's not perfect, but it's done. I finally finished pounding all the stakes and stringing all the string. Sure hope it will be worth all the back breaking work. Now if the weather would only cooperate so I could plant it. ( photo / image / picture from Donna S's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Donna S's Garden )
Wow, what a lot of work went into your really good looking garden. Hope you get a lot of wonderful veggies from it. Don't forget photos when the seeds start growing and through the season.
Oops!!! Does this qualify as a square foot garden? Square foot gardening??? ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) I have a rosemary, thyme, oregano and an orphan coriander. The size is about 4sq. ft. I did this to make sure that I'll still have these herbs when I get back from my month long vacation ... keeping my fingers crossed.
Yes KK I think it would. Donna wow what a great job. I was wondering how are you going to get at the center of your raised beds without walking on it? Or are you going to make some sort of paths in them. They look really nice. I take it you have the fence around it to keep the rabbits out, and the brick paths are easy to keep clean.
Tooty, If and whenever this weather stops I will put my walkways in. Around the outside are all just a row of foot sq's. In the middle are the 4 ft. sq's. And rabbits were not the problem. Woodchuck are my biggest problem.
Good luck with the new garden, it's beautiful. You can give your poor back a little break before you get it planted. Can't wait to see it all lush and green.
Carolyn I hate woodchucks. I know I have blogged about what we used to get rid of those little critters. It's a product called Shake-away. It's made out of coyote urine and you can sprinkle it around the outside of your garden. The woodchucks will leave because they think a coyote has moved into the area and they might become lunch. It worked for us in keeping them from digging under our goat barn floor. I liked this idea better than killing them.
