We have been wanting to do a HUGE garden for years but for one reason or another it just hasn’t happened. We’ve potted tomatoes and herbs in containers for the last couple of years and the girls have gotten so much enjoyment out of taking care of them that we decided that 2009 was the year for THE GARDEN. So last weekend, we checked our diagram, made our list, and headed to the HD (as my husband calls it) for all the needed supplies to build our raised bed garden. Below are the pictures from the start of this process. I’ll be blogging this as we go so you can follow the adventures of the Klose Garden.

Notice the belts.

One box done! 13 to go!

So we’ll be keeping you updated on our progress as we continue the prep work as well as when growing season starts. Feel free to leave a comment if you have your own garden and would like to share some advice for the “newbies”.
