Today Mike helped me finish putting together a raised bed garden. I had started it but couldn't screw the connectors in, so Mike took care of that. And he dumped out about 10 bags of Miracle Gro soil for me, too! I have to rake it and start planting in the next few days.
The bed is only 4 inches deep, and you need 12 inches for tomatoes, so Mike used a post digger (for fence posts) and dug another 8 or so inches into the ground at one end. We used bamboo sticks to mark off where I'll plant 3 tomato plants next month.
Then I helped him put about 30 gladiolus bulbs into the ground, in various places around the property. Plus 2 begonias! I hope they all come up. They should be very pretty.
