When I was a child during World war 2, my step father taught me the pleasure of vegetable gardening. That has not left me, though my ability to do much now is diminished. Happily I saw a YouTube clip featuring a different type of inexpensive raised beds and I think they will work for me now. Accordingly I am searching for another bench or two sturdy small outdoor tables to raise a couple more Rubbermaid storage bins up to a height that I can tend well. My daughter Beth furnished one this morning and you can see how that works. They will not be bad looking once there are green things filling them and flowing over the sides.
There are holes drilled for drainage. It takes a lot of soil to fill these! A winter garden planted this fall will be snow peas, broccoli, beets, spinach and lettuce.
My cherry tomatoes have been loaded, currently all picked. They will be quiet till cooler nights return, these do not set fruit till nights are below 70 degrees.
There is a rain barrel in the back.
There are three sitting areas in the yard, one in the front yard has chairs and tables and another big wooden swing. in our current covid time, my only company happens outside in the yard. Below is Granddaughter Hailey in the front yard last week. Grandkids are the greatest!
A tip cut from one of the tomato plants this morning will make one to plant for fall tomatoes as soon as little roots grow in the water. A farmer is always thinking about the next crop. e
