Raised Beds for Vegetable Garden

Bob is hard at work finishing the raised beds for our new vegetable garden. My job was to fill them with topsoil. My arms, back, and legs are much stronger now, from shoveling dirt into the wheelbarrow and dumping it into these tall planters. I like the height, I won’t have to bend over so much when planting or weeding. Bob put a trim along the top edge that will be a great space to stash tools, phone, camera, waterbottle, or whatever else I might be toting around with me. Planting must wait until Memorial Day weekend when we are safe from overnight frosts.
