You Can Never Have Enough Garden Beds… Right?

Fact: If it were up to me I would fill the entire backyard with raised garden beds. 

But the HH thought I was being a little ridiculous when I suggested filling the whole backyard with raised beds and that what we really needed was room for a table and chairs and a BBQ {and room to walk around!} in the backyard. 

Not a mini farm. 😉

Yada yada yada…

So we compromised and put {4} 4’ x 8’ raised beds in the back. 

But the space looked so lonely. 

I told the HH it still needed a potting bench or at least somewhere I could store my watering cans and extra pots and well, before you know it I had found the perfect solution. 

An elevated garden bed. With a storage rack underneath!!!

Check it out! Not only do I have more room to grow vegetables now {the garden bed is 2.5’x10’} but a proper place to store all my extra pots and watering supplies. And I LOVE that it is elevated too.

Apparently the bed will hold 2,000 lbs of soil, plants, and water. 

Now we just need to move it to the back of the house, add soil and start planting. It’s hard to believe we were living in a frozen tundra just 6 weeks ago but here we are. 

Ready to get this party started. Ready to start spending the majority of our days outside again. I love this time of year. 

And I LOVE creating new gardens and growing vegetables!

Here’s hoping we all have a bountiful garden this summer.
