Gardening
« on: May 25, 2012, 12:26:20 AM »
We are only just about over our frost free nights here in northern Alberta. For about 5 days now have been gardening with gusto! I have not put this much effort into it for years - I am so ground-in-dirty I don't think my hands and feet will ever be clean again  ;D

I know how you feel, Diane. After weeks of staring at the jungle that is my garden, I finally got my act together and phoned my gardener.

Good man. That can be hell on your dialing finger.

Who wants to see my two new raised veggie beds?



THey are 4' X 16' freshly stained and waiting to get planted.  :)

I didn't like the common old ground.

Actually there are a lot of benefits for raised beds: warm up sooner in the spring, good drainage, intense planting rather than "farmer style" rows, easier to weed - cute.

What you're saying is you're bringing the ground up closer to you?

I wish I had a gardener named Gusto or Capability.
