This is the newest and first bed, planting the Square Foot Gardening way. I think the hardest part to building this bed, was getting it level. Eric had to dig out lots of rock in one corner (upper left), and even then, he put some of our compost on the bottom to level it. (That was after this pic was taken.) Next, fill it with Mel’s Mix and plant carrots and beets.
Sadie’s supervising.

These are the asparagus beds. We just finished putting compost on the beds. Then we brought in some chipped up pine bark from some pine trees we had cut down a few years ago. It looks nicer now and will keep the weeds down. The dog is Sadie, a 13 year old dalmation mix, who loves to eat asparagus, especially when the stalks have been cut and have dried up to a nice crispness. Weird-o dog. But we love her just the same.
