Garden Watch 2012, Part 2

Some of the herb seeds planted last week have sprouted in their pods like fine frog hair.  Mostly thyme and basil.  I figure the rest will start poking through within a week.



Mini-Me and I tried our hand at carpentry and built two, four-foot by eight-foot raised planter beds.  I'm no carpenter, and an even worse gardener.  But I'll have to say these went from raw materials to finished product rather well.

After:


The finished beds are shown upside-down. I'll dig four small holes for the "feet" to sit into, hopefully to prevent the beds from shifting around.  Next step: prep some ground and get soil to fill the beds.

Not bad for a Saturday afternoon!
