Yesterday, I started the process of building my raised vegetable garden at our backyard. I thought it was going to take me the entire week to dig a 4x10 4x12 feet of land but I actually finished it all in one day! We Hubby should install the wood side barrier sometime this week/weekend and hopefully, I can transfer my little plants soon after that! And surprisingly, my right arm didn't hurt at all except the very few times I over "twist" my wrist from shoveling.

1 Halfway done with digging my raised bed! It actually ended up being 2 feet longer. Oops.
2 Bag of dirt obstacle
3 Nathaniel stepped on a fire ant hill :( Dada missed this ONE hill last weekend when he treated the yard and of course, Nathaniel found it.
4 More digging
5 Taking a break from digging and riding the horsey swing together instead.
6 In the Philippines, whenever little children do this, they say it's because they are asking for a sibling :)
7 I saw so many earth worms, which makes me happy because that means I have a healthy soil! I accidentally chopped a lot of them, too. Thankfully, they have the ability to regenerate.
8 Child labor
9 Done! 4x12 feet.
10 Swinging from the outside.
11 Yup, he's a daredevil.
12 What the heck?! He's chasing our dog Riley with the hat over his face. In the last picture, I asked him to smile and he said, "Click!" while pretending to take a picture.

Looks like it's coming along great! Mine is about 8x8 and it has (what I think/hope is) a lemon tree in the middle. I still have to till mine and get LOTS of dirt to make it level. What are you going to grow?
ReplyDeleteI still have to till mine, too! I'm hoping to grow tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, cucumber and strawberries (a friend gave me 10 bulbs). If I have more space, I also want carrots, beans (green and snap) and potatoes. But since it's my first year, I really should start small first! What are you planting? And how big is the tree? I hope it's not going to shade your bed!
DeleteOh, I forgot: I'm also growing several types of herbs but I'm planting those in containers.
