Off to Bed

The wind is whipping by and the snow banks are looming large...and all I can think about is building a raised bed.

As with most things, you will wish you made it bigger once it is done. 3 feet wide and 2 feet high are suggested for most gardeners who want to get started with a raised bed. But for serious folks, raised bed 4 feet wide and 10 or more feet long is just right.

I have my seeds (golden beets & purple carrots) my Organic Mechanics Premium Blend (www.organicmechanicsoil.com) -- all I need is the wood and nice weather!
