Garden Plans > 2013: Raised Bed 1

About this Garden Plan

This is my first year for a raised bed vegetable garden. I am so excited to get started. My husband and son are making the beds out of weathered gray fence boards that were used for grazing cattle. The 2 arched trellis are made of hog panels from TSC. I am also using an old 12'x4' feed trough with 2 foot high legs, for my lettuce, spinach, summer squash, herbs and flowers. I am hoping to get my guys to create my log planters (I saw on Pinterest) and help me create the twig fence too.
