A Late Summer Garden


*********************

I'm a big fan of container gardening but am especially looking forward to working with raised beds.

Peas, strings beans, carrots and many kinds of greens can still be grown in the late summer. I still have to find that house :) Starting small with perhaps a 5' x 5' framed bed might allow me to experiment better with soil, compost and drainage.

Many years ago, my good friend, Bev and I, back hoed a good part of her backyard with quite an ambitious garden. It was fun, and a lot of work, but like all good things worth having, it took a lot of time and patience.
