Eric and I commenced installing a raised garden bed today. It is, of course in the front corner of the lot (the only place that gets full sun). Here's a zoomed out photo showing the composter on the left, the greenhouse on the right, and Eric toiling away in the middle (the post is a rain gauge). We opted for untreated wood knowing it won't last forever, but I just wasn't convinced after reading about treated wood that I wanted to risk anything leeching into my vegetables (even with the change from CCA to ACQ, which is what Lowes carries). We bought 8-foot long 2x10 boards. We figure we're going to have to sink them into the ground a bit so we bought enough boards to do a double level. More work tomorrow!

I'm going to have to change the name of the blog
