Well . . . the fence went up with only a couple of tiny glitches! It felt great when we turned the first corner! And even better to see it complete!
THEN . . . building the raised beds began. NOT easy work, but between my husband Michael and son Eddie . . engineer and brawn . . . they turned out fantasticl!
We also used rabbit fencing on the inside of the fence . . ok, I make rabbits for a living, and I love them, BUT . . I'm not pleased when ther are munching everything in my garden!!
Next is layering the beds . . pea gravel for drainage, older top soil from part of the center garden. New top soil worked in & of course some lovely compost too!
We are all sooooo sore & sunburned, but as we see the garden begin to take shape, it's all worth it!

Wow! That looks fabulous!! I wish it wasn't snowing here so I could go outside!!! Good job! I love it, can't wait to see how the garden grows!!!
Take care,

That is a perfectly adorable garden and fence! Ah yes, I remember the rabbits in our yard in Lynchburg, Ohio. They are charming, but of course, one does not wish for them to find such a garden as yours. Out here in Oregon, I never see rabbits, but then, I live in a city. My only pests here are squirrels and I feed them. Hahahahaha!

That is totally amazing! Please continue to post pictures as your garden grows - would love to see what the finished layout looks like.
The new garden looks amazing! You're going to have the prettiest back yard in the neighborhood.
Happy gardening-
Heidi

Lori,
I've really enjoyed reading about your new garden - it truly will be a masterpiece! Lucky you, to have two strong, able fellows to make your dreams come true. I posted pics to my blog of the new backyard deck we added to our house and we love it, but my hubby couldn't hammer a nail in straight, if his life depended on it. I've learned you don't need to be married to a handyman, just married to someone who makes enough to hire someone else to do it! LOL! Enjoy your new garden!
hugs,
Brenda
