Expanding, Part II

I have been meaning to do this post for a month now!
After the bushes were eliminated, we had four pine trees cut down. I disliked having to take them out, but it really was impossible to have optimal sun for the planters without doing so. (Less pinecones to pick up, anyway ;)

Then the planters were built...
(blood, sweat, and tears - 6 x 6 x 16 timbers are H-E-A-V-Y)

Dirt hauled in...

...and finally planting!

Now all the vegetables are doing quite nicely, more pictures coming soon.

Expanding

For a long time our family has wanted to expand our garden. We have four approx. 5 by 8 foot planters already, but that only holds a few types of vegetables. So a few weeks ago, the demolition required to make room for new planting space began!

There used to be bushes all around this pine tree, but they have been transplanted.

A rather stubborn clump...

I'll update as the project progresses!
