Whistech's Raised Bed Project

[whistech]

About six weeks ago I joined Tomatoville and asked for advice on building some raised beds so I can grow tomatoes next spring. Several people replied to my thread with a lot of great information and I want to thank everyone who did. Using a lot of your inputs, I built raised beds in my back yard. The beds were completed early October. I bought dirt from a local company called Natures Way Resources and had it delivered to my driveway. I calculated I would need about 8 cubic yards so I added one more yard to be sure I had enough to fill my beds. By the way, hauling 9 yards of dirt from the driveway to the back yard one wheel barrow at a time is hard on an old fat man! I completed the project on 5 October and planted cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and some radishes the next day. Since then, I have added a few other items. I have purchased tomato seeds from Tania and Remy and will be starting those in late December to transplant on March 1st. Below are a few pictures of my small garden. My Grandkids are my pride and joy and they enjoy helping in Poppys garden.
