I was intrigued to see the lips built on the raised beds - addresses one of the problems with them, I'd think. jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481203733160854169.post-22643335636516079202014-04-14T16:09:47.456-04:002014-04-14T16:09:47.456-04:00Oh, well now I want raised beds again, lol.

The early thaw is a little less important around here, of course. :)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081652747471904560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481203733160854169.post-63898626817632432202014-04-14T14:12:44.106-04:002014-04-14T14:12:44.106-04:00When I gardened, contrary to Leslie above, I appre...When I gardened, contrary to Leslie above, I appreciated the three raised beds I had. I found that they would defrost earlier than the rest of the garden around and that I could sit down while I worked in them. From time to time, I would have to replace one of the 6"x6" but since my son has a portable saw mill, I had asked him to prepare me some in advance for when I would need them. Buy the way, I read this post while "savoring" my egg sandwich...How nice of you to go give your time to the community gardens; time is so precious and you are lucky to have the energy to do this after doing your own work.

Let us know if you happen to be in Charlotte end of June/beginning of July, maybe we could find you some room at the next Gather table. ;)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081652747471904560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481203733160854169.post-52857931801397427812014-04-14T11:22:27.828-04:002014-04-14T11:22:27.828-04:00BOY am I inspired!

I had raised beds like those pictured but they were difficult to keep up so just pulled them apart and hope to be able to use a small tiller this year. Wish I had ANY cooking skills. Miss Chef makes me hungry but the food is almost too pretty to eat! Loved seeing Rosie and your "guard cat" too!<br />Happy Spring!<br />LeslieLeslie @ Farm Fresh Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970398718118889905noreply@blogger.com
