A sturdy garden

With the vegetable garden planted last week each day I went out to see if anything was sprouting.

Nothing. Not yet anyway.

However, that doesn't mean the garden isn't moving forward! We have early spring flowers like periwinkle (or myrtle)




lots of forsythia, which I will be cutting and bringing inside tomorrow....



and of course spring daffodils.


This week Jon decided that THIS was the year that the veggie garden border became more permanent. Not only will this help keep creeping crab grass and other weeds easier to control, but the lawn mower will no long chew the black plastic border and some of the edged plants. He went to Lowes and bought some pressure treated wood yesterday at lunch and borrowed our neighbor's chainsaw.

Jon cutting pieces to fit the border.

D watching his daddy fit the last section.

Once the spring plantings have passed we will bring in a load of nice planting soil for the summer veggies and fill this great garden box up!
