Terraces.
[From Rachel's archives]
This past Saturday, Ben and I finished up the second phase of our (okay, my) grand ambitions for the backyard. The first was to move the old shed that was up against the house down into the yard to a more secure foundation, thereby opening up a perfect space for a patio in it's old footprint. The second was to build four raised bed terraces on the sunny side of our backyard. We filled each bed with "Dixie Mix,"a mixture of mushroom compost, sand, limestone and other minerals that was created especially for raised beds by a local landscape company. Thanks to Beka and Nik for helping fill up the raised beds with us!
Here are the seeds I planted in the new vegetable garden Saturday evening:
1. Lima Beans - Dixie butterpea
2. Zinnias - Parks cutting mix
3. Cucumbers - Diva
4. Summer squash - Sunburst
These seeds were all packaged for 2004, so we will see if they germinate or not...
