Will and I have always wanted a lush garden, overflowing with home-grown vegetables. We are excited to finally build one. It took us all day Saturday just to plan it out and choose our brick. We tried very hard to keep the cost down and have it still match the other stone work in the backyard. Well, we're saving on labor costs because we're doing it ourselves. But, the bricks aren't cheap. We will keep you posted and hope to present a final picture soon. It may take us another weekend before we finish the raised beds, fill them with dirt and start planting. Lots of work! And I must say that Will is like an ox. He can haul and shovel and stack all day!
Bed #1 is started
Bed #2 is layed out. We decided to wait on bed #3. We were getting in over our heads.
Long deserved frosting break...
We'll let you know how long it takes to finish.

YAY for gardens in the desert! Way to go guys. I'm sure it'll turn out great.
Wow, to have to start getting ready to garden in February! You could have fresh fruits and veggies in the winter. Cool.
