We spent Saturday morning buying a few plants for the raised garden bed we have when something bit Justin to build a couple more boxes like we had talked about for the past year. I wasn't going to complain. We used leftover boards from building our deck to make the 4'x4' boxes and all Justin had to go buy were the posts to put in the corners and dirt. For our dirt I do a mix of 1/3 Miracle Grow Potting Soil (NOT GARDEN SOIL) and 2/3 top soil. This worked really well last year and even my neighbor who has been gardening for a long time asked how I had such success with my garden when he wasn't having the same luck with his.
I have the seeds to plant green beans and squash so that is what will go in the new boxes as soon as it is time to plant them. In the big box I planted 4 different kinds of tomato plants, jalapenos, serranos, romaine, and butter lettuce. I already had some carrots growing in it and I planted a few more seeds to have a cycle of carrots. I also planted some fresh parsley and basil in my herb tire.
