kate_has_roots's Raised bed plot '09 garden

Garden Type: Backyard | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Peat I'm Organic!

This is the raised bed in the backyard of my parents’ house across town from my home (in central NH, USA).

We had a warm, relatively dry spell near the end of March, so I worked the bed and tried sowing seeds about a week earlier than I did last year. The copper strip that’s currently peeling away from the bed was applied last year to ward off slugs. I’m going to patch it up, because it was pretty effective. The stick-in-the-mud is actually supposed to become a pea trellis…it was free, and perhaps it will even become attractive (ie, hidden completely). I also used rocks as rough row markers. The whole thing ended up looking more like a hare-brained sculpture than a garden, but it’ll do.

That’s my daughter, Freya, helping out with the rake.
