Built a raised garden bed yesterday, learned some lessons

Measured twice cut once didn't work out because I apparently can't math. Long story short the boards are slightly misaligned but nothing that's going to kill the garden. Currently filled it with soil and already got some seeds going. Pretty pumped actually, the wife thinks it looks decent even with my mistakes. Planning to build 2 more next month if this one works out.

Nice work getting it built man. My kid wants to help plant stuff in ours next spring and I'm genuinely excited about it. Even if the boards aren't perfect, you're creating something cool for your family.

Dude, misaligned boards build character. My first raised bed looked like it was built by someone who'd never seen a level before, and you know what? Plants don't care. They just want soil and water. You're already ahead of the game.

Ha, the measure twice thing is a myth anyway. I think the real rule is measure three times and still cut it wrong somehow. At least you got it done, that's what matters.
