Looking For The Dirt

Spring has officially arrived on the weather deck. We have "deck"orated the outdoor weather set and are officially ready to prepare the garden area. All those years of watching HGTV were worth it.


Our great grounds crew have taken the shrubs and relocated them on the other side of the deck. It will take some time to see if they will survive the transplant. They are pretty hearty shrubs. The move now makes room for the garden area to be placed beside the weather deck. (The photo top-left shows the wooden beams of the garden just to the left of the deck . The photo on the right shows where the shrubs were along with the oak beams used for the raised bed garden).

You made the right choice by using the raised bed method. We've had one here for ears and love it. You might tell your viewers that it's also great for older folks who may not be able to use the tiller and can be raised up pretty high so you don't have to bend over so far. Good luck with it. Just don't let Robin touch the tomato patch.
