I didn't realize how many challenges and on the fly design changes I would have building on a slope, but I think they are still coming out really nice.
Slopes are definitely tricky but you did a fantastic job. Those look great!
What are your plans for filling them? Whatcha gonna grow?
Oh thank you! We have a bunch of seeds started on the kitchen counter, haha, I thing we have brussel sprouts, chives, basil, thyme and maybe something else started already. We will also buy some starters for peppers and zucchini. There's a 3rd box hidden by the deck, and another 12ft x 4ft box on the other side of the yard from the previous owners that has some strawberries still growing that survived the winter.
Awesome stuff, and that's a ton of growing space! I hope you'll share your progress, I've got two more months before transplants would be safe so I'm living vicariously through folks til then
I totally will!
Cool.
They look amazing.
Thanks!
Are those for plants or for compost? Either way looks pretty clean and nicely adapted to your situation.
Planting! We are planning on growing a ton of veggies this summer.
Good stuff! Homegrown vegetables and fruit are just the best :)
