Yard Work!

Well...finally done for the weekend.  Tough, hard work.  I'm scratched, bruised, cut up and tired.  Can't tell you how many times I've been to the store for parts, lumber, soil and who knows what, I can't remember.  Had a hard winter this year.  Took a lot of bushes and flowers.  Lots of empty spaces to fill.  My wife, Diane, has always wanted a modified English garden and I'm trying my best.  Being the moody person I am, I haven't been as diligent as I should have been lately.  Paid for it this weekend.  The garden is almost finished.  A couple more boxes and the vegetables will finish it.  Have to wait for the next paycheck to do that.  But here is what I have so far.  Could be better, but here goes.  First I will show you the yard and then the garden area.  Here is the yard.

This is the garden area.  I have raised two of the boxes and added a third.  I intend on adding another one under the tangerine tree and one for Diane's herbs under the kitchen window.  Still a lot of work, but I'm on my way.  Boy do I need to get out and take some pictures.

This box has lemon cucumbers and will have some squash and a few other things.  Diane is still deciding.  

This box has spaghetti squash and sugar peas so far.  I think Diane will add something else.

Looking down the side of the house you can see all the boxes.  I will build another box under the tangerine tree for carrots and radishes.  I moved four yards of Topsoil/Compost this weekend to fill the boxes. 

Well, that's it.  This box has a Cherry tomatoes and a Roma tomatoes, and two Heirloom Brandy tomatoes.  Still plenty of room for some peppers of different types and who knows what else.  I'm sure I will find out soon.  I hope you enjoyed seeing all of this.  I just had to share.  Later!
