Garden bed project

Mom has been busy earning her title as SBM (small, but mighty!). She is tackling a pretty major overhaul of our vegetable garden space. It all started out because the deer have been getting into the garden and eating a lot of our hard work.

So, she was looking into deer fencing and then it grew (as projects do!) into transforming the garden into a raised bed system. So, now we can live here til a ripe old age, and sit on the edge of our garden and grow organic food without even having to bend over!

Anyway, it is looking good. We joined a local organic community supported agriculture group this year, so we're thinking the garden will be different - some asparagus, rhubarb, shallots, flowers, raspberries, strawberries. Then we'll see what else we might want to add after our first year with the CSA.

Also, we taught Te Beagh to bow to us when we say "Who's your boss?" and she has it pretty well down. (This idea came from N&K and Bruno, just to give credit!).

Happy Spring! Go Avs!

Whoa! That IS a huge project - I heard something about raised beds, but those are pretty darn tall! Cool!

What beer you got there?

And how freaking cute is Te Beagh!! Awww...
