Garden season again

 Hello, everyone.  Before the garden, a picture of the sky yesterday morning.  

 This cute, little cloud was showing the dawn colors. Seeing the dawn is one of the best things about walking in the morning. (Almost as great as doing the walk before the day heats up!)

As the soil in my yard is very full of clay, and thus heavy, I have been somewhat disappointed in the yields of various vegetables. Other folks I know are having great results with raised bed culture. We decided that this is the year to try it out.

The first box. It's 12 feet by three feet. (A little over three meters long by almost a meter wide.)

There will be two smaller boxes added later. That will pretty much be all the rectangles we can tuck into our oval bed. And we have no particular desire to make the bed into a rectangle as that would require moving the critter-fence.

The depth of the bed will be about a foot: 2 fence pickets. 

We shall see how the fall garden turns out with boxes!
