Built a raised bed garden with the kids
Got tired of the wife asking why we weren't growing anything. Spent a Saturday building four 4x8 beds from cedar boards, filled them with soil, and planted tomatoes, peppers, and squash. Kids are actually excited about it because they planted the seeds. Now I get to maintain it all summer but I'm not complaining. Fresh tomatoes beat anything from the store.
That's awesome man. Four beds is a solid setup. Did you go with wood frames or composite? I'm thinking about doing something similar but my soil keeps washing away on that slight slope we've got.
