The previous weeks were all construction shots, so these photos are now documenting actual plant progress. On Saturday we filled in the remaining beds with enriched soil and tamped it down. On Sunday, Dean finished the top of the frame on the shortest bed. So we now have 3 completed beds. Bed #1 is the shortest bed, Bed #2 is of medium height and Bed #3 is the tallest. Beds 1 & 2 have rabbit fencing around them to keep out the dog and the kids. :)
Rabbit fencing doesn't always deter a determined toddler
While daddy was working on the top of the frame for Bed #1, Rylan, Owen and I planted the bed. Rylan helped make holes and dropped the bigger-sized seeds in. Owen busied himself by removing all of the plant markers I put in place. (Sigh). We planted 1 zucchini, 1 squash, 2 rows of peas, 4 rows of carrots, 4 rows of beets and 1 row of chives.
In bed #2, we planted 1 rhubarb (from a nursery), 1 zucchini, 3 rows of peas, 1 row of jalapeno, 1 row of anaheim, and 8 cucumber.
In bed #3, (which was planted about 2 weeks ago) I put in 10 tomatoes, and multiple bush beans.
