Garden Boxes

One of the projects we (ok, it was really mostly John) did in February was to build some raised-bed garden boxes.  This had been on our list for quite some time, and I really pushed to get this project started.  Thankfully, once John got started he really got into it and they came out so nice!

Here is the area, before boxes... I spared you the true 'before' shot as we had just cleared out some knee-deep weeds and John dug down and leveled off the area where we were planning on putting the boxes.

We used 12' long redwood boards.  If you ever plan on buliding garden boxes, used non-pressure treated wood.  The chemicals from the pressure treated wood aren't good and can leach into your home grown veggies!

All cut and ready to go!



I then headed off to a party and came home to this wonderfulness... :-)

Happy Valentine's Day to me!!
