This year we're going big... trying to grow a whole garden out there. Brad built this sweet potting-bench/platform to make it more manageable (it's a fairly steep slope). He used all found materials, so it was free and looks rustic - just like I wanted.
I got to work cleaning pots and making a mix of potting soil, peat moss and perlite (as suggested on BHG.com).
Then I planted seeds for cool-weather veggies: lettuce and spinach and such.
Hopefully we'll see some sprouts soon. And I'll get more seeds out when the weather warms a bit (whenever that will finally be... I think it's near freezing outside right now!)I don't know if it will work, but I figure we have nothing to lose. And I'm excited about having fresh veggies right at our house!
