Garden Bed Blueprint.

I know a couple of you are planning on making new beds and/or inquiring on how I built my 12x4 garden bed.

It will be 2 years this April that I started gardening.
I figured I would share my original sketch of the bed.

The 4 inch posts are buried and everything is not pressure treated. I debated a lot on that topic. I used galvanized 8in. bolts to keep it together. I figured if one wall fell apart I can easily replace it.

One thing I did not do that I suggest is putting chicken wire (or something equivalent) along the bottom. This will keep out any rodents digging up from underneath. It won't be full proof but at least a deterrent. Luckily I haven't had any mole issues yet. I think it may be because underneath is a large rock spanning larger than my garden. I know this because I have an issue with putting the posts up for my fence. I can only dig 8 inches deep in some spots.

Get your seed starter kits ready and garden planners out. The new season is about to start!

Popped popcorn, and it was good.

In January I removed the dry kernels from the cobs. This past week
we enjoyed a 1 large bowl of popcorn. The Kernals popped smaller than normal
bu there was something a little more 'fresh' about them that made them taste great.

Sorry, no photos of the actual popped corn. We were too excited and ate it quickly.
