What Keeps You Busy

What Keeps You Busy in the summer months? Well, I love to work in the garden. But as I am getting older, it gets harder to weed the garden and plant it when it is at ground level. I have been reading a lot about raised garden beds. So this is what is going on here.

This photo is my garden from last year. It has to be fenced because of the deer. But imagine this spot covered with grass that is at least 4 ft tall and intertwined into the fence around it in the spring.

It is so discouraging to start a garden when you have to clean up the weeds first.

My husband is an amazing guy, he rototilled the garden for me and it looks ready, but I asked him if he could maybe build me a raised garden area in this spot. I showed him a picture of what I was thinking of, and by the way, he can build anything. I am quite impressed at what all he does for us, from fixing our cars to caring for our home and RV.

So he started with one box, than the dirt had to be moved.

Then he built another box, so on and so forth.

We did not have enough dirt to fill the boxes so husband cut up a bunch of dead trees to fill the boxes up half way.

We put a fence around the garden that the birds love to perch on.

Plus, they are helping me weed the garden I think and picking out bugs.

This is the final project. So much easier on my back when it comes to planting and weeding. The entire thing is planted and now I just have to maintain it. Thank you dear husband. 😉

    1. Thank you, well I plant as soon as I get home, but up here that is still late. I do get to harvest most of the things I plant if we don’t leave until October. Last year we had our first frost end of August. So one never knows. 🙂

    1. That is so true, there is just something about making your own food from the earth. A wonderful feeling and accomplishment. 🙂

  1. Your husband is good to you and talented as well! P.S. – He should get first dibs on the BLTs since he was instrumental in their growth process.

Love to Hear from You
