For months now Brandon and I have been debating whether or not to build raised beds in our backyard for a vegetable/fruit garden. My best friend Liz and her husband Kyle have several in their backyard and they are really neat. Every time we go over there it just made me want some in our backyard more and more. So this weekend being a holiday weekend and more days off from work, Brandon and I decided to build raised beds in our back yard for our own garden. I am so excited. Brandon completed one box on Sunday and then part of another one on Monday. Today I plan on going to get some dirt to fill our boxes and plant our seeds and veggie plants. The thing we plan on growing are: carrots, green beans, sugar snap peas, tomatoes, squash, jalapenos, banana peppers, bell peppers and broccoli. I will post pictures of our garden soon. Can’t wait for the vegetables to begin growing!!! It will be fun to eat our own produce!!!!
