Having a newborn baby is time consuming. Especially when you have one as cute as this:
Our friends and proud parents of this baby boy had been wanting to build a backyard garden for some time now. Karen and I decided to start off their Saturday morning with a ‘Surprise Garden’.
Here is a step by step glimpse at the production of this garden. If you’ve ever wanted to build a simple raised bed, but were too overwhelmed to even start it, check out how easy it can be.
Gathering Wood
Measure Twice…
Cut Once
Assembly. It helps to do this step on a nice level surface.
Digging up the sod
Years worth of neighborhood compost
Lay down the bed and fill it in
Mini Herb Spiral
Lay out the plants
Plant them
Water them
And you’re done!!!
We planted some lettuce and carrot seeds in two small rows as well. Their family will be enjoying fresh vegetables (and hopefully watermelon too!) in no time.
