Garden Box #3

Joe built our third garden box.
He had to kneel on the hard concrete floor, but he got the job done:





Later he removed sod, leveled the ground and put a liner down.
Sarah helped us haul wheel barrows of dirt and also helped with the filling of the box.
She was a cheerful and willing helper:






Look at that! Three boxes for growing vegetables. We do need to stain them, so they are better protected from the weather though :





It was safe to plant the spinach and kale, but nothing else. Theres already a bit of parsley growing, which survived over winter.
We have the beginnings of a backyard mini-farm.

Love the garden boxes. My daughter put one in at her house last year and is planning another. The herbs did quite well in Ohio.
