If you’ve read even a couple of posts on this blog, you know we’re a little bit into food, especially the local kind. And there’s no more local food than that we grow right here in our yard. Our girls are great eaters, and part of the reason for that is that they are emminently connected to their food. They know where it came from, how it was made, and they know what they like.

2010, however, is going to be an entirely new beast. With just a bit of preparation last weekend, and a pile of work this one, we went from…
Concept
to…
Reality
That’s right… we went from 4 beds to 21 beds over a single weekend. Yes, these are smaller in most cases (2 × 8 instead of 4 × 8). And yes, I still have fill them with dirt, but we’re thrilled to have them in place. And I’m thrilled to have made it out of bed this morning.
Holy schnikes! We are going to have to call in reinforcements if you travel this summer :)
This is awesome, Tim! Will you stop by and help us plan our garden this year?
Oh this is going to make for some excellent blogging material this summer! I’ve gotta know what those standy-up things are for. Are they for the garden? Or are they mini penalty boxes for the children?
Those are our long overdue compost bins. At this point, they’re ridiculously large. And, if a kid gets out of line, putting them in there for 2 minutes with a bunch of decaying trash seems like it would be a perfect penalty.
