So you see don't let living in the city keep you from getting your hands dirty and growing your own veggies! You can Urban Garden for a very inexpensive cost, if you just think! You might be saying, "where do I get the dirt to fill them up?" Well most of mine is from my compost bins or my good friends horse farm, there are many Soil Amendments available. You can also do a "HUGELKULTUR", Raised Bed Experiment, like I have done, if you would like. Where there is a will there is a way! Just start small and build your way up to whatever size you may need. Maybe even ask a neighbor to help and it can become a group effort, many community gardens have been started like that. The main thing is have fun!

That is some of the nicest scrap lumber I have ever seen . Nice job!!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I have two raised beds but they are plastic ones from Lowes or Home Depot or somewhere that I purchased last year. I planted strawberries in one and am now crossing my fingers that I'll have a crop this June. Tomatoes and other things last year. This year I will have JUST tomatoes in that bed but I am going to do some container gardening for lettuce etc...
ReplyDeleteThis looks good. My parents have a raised bed and I'm the one doing the planting and growing. This year it will be kale, swiss chard, collard greens, tomatoes and green peppers.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the exact same thing Donna!
ReplyDeleteClint, I have always wanted to try raised bed gardening, but it seemed overwhelming...you said, "Just start small and build your way up to whatever size you may need." That's exactly what I needed to hear- I don't have to do a whole acre right at first, right?? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us for Let’s Get Social Sunday!
Hope you have a great week! :)

Great job Clint...That is so encouraging that your growing more veggies for you and the family... I ordered loads of annuals and some cool weather veggie seeds yesterday... can't wait to get planting! As always, thanks so much for linking up and sharing your garden doin's!!!
ReplyDeleteI love raised bed gardens. We will be making our own up on our future homestead next year. This year while we are still living in the valley we are making do with the old style hills and trenches. I found you on the backyard farming connection hop.
ReplyDeleteI have had "making raised beds" on my To Do list for 5 weeks now! Emotionally it feels like such a huge challenge (we are all carpenterly challenged at my home) but I am again encouraged by your to just DO IT!! Hoping that next week I'll be able to come back and say, DONE!!!
ReplyDeleteComing from Encourage One Another link-up.
Love your beds! I wish we had started with raised beds built from lumber. They're so much neater than our mounds which we call raised beds.
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to link up your post at my Fabulously Frugal Thursday linky!
Love this idea........Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week; I hope you’ll join us again!

Great raised beds! WOO HOO! I am loving raised beds. thanks for sharing Paula from Idaho
ReplyDeleteOne man's trash is definitely another man's treasure - wonderful repurposing of the lumber for the raised beds - they'll look great filled with vegies for the family! I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
