For many years I dreamt about building my own garden to live off. Summer 2016 is the year that I finally gave it a-go. It just so happened that my dad was in town to help me rebuild my deck – which left me with an unbelievable amount of leftover wood. Attempting to utilize the wood to the best of my ability (due to a limit on trash set by the city), I decided to build my very first raised garden bed.
The final result was a measly 4′ x 4′ roughly a foot tall. Its a start…
Since I got such a late start in the year I decided to start from hardened starter plants found at a local hardware store. I wandered home with a variety of plants: bell peppers, jalapeños, cabbage, mint, parsley, tomatoes, and okra.
