Day One: Garden boxes



So when we moved to our new house we rototiller-ed the grass down by the horse pasture to plant our garden. We are new to the area, well frankly the whole starting a garden from scrtatch thing. Apparently the soil by our house has too much acid. in the dirt so it killed a lot of our plants. So today we built these garden boxes. We only did one board instead of two and we did it with pressure treated wood. Those were our changes. I had a lot of fun doing this with my husband :D

Laying down the landscape fabric so we don't get weeds.
