The raised bed


I also planted the raised bed. This is something, as a somewhat neophyte gardener, that I am especially proud of. I designed and built the raised bed after the original plan (4' x 1'H fire pit ring from Tractor Supply) was not available, I grew the plants that I have put in it from seed (salvia farinacea/salvia gruppenblau, achillea millefolium/yarrow colorado and gomphrea globosa/globe amaranth) and I filled the bed with leaf mould from our leaves, compost from the pile and top soil left over from digging for the temporary patio. Of course right now it looks like I am growing a harvest of popsicle sticks (my plant labels).
