Timing is everything.

I managed to get the garden in after the snowstorms and before the rains!!
My two 4X4 boxes.
Box #1:  Broccoli, Cauliflower and Peppers!  All transplants.
Box #2: Green Beans, Onions, Spinach and Lettuce.
Mostly seeds except the Tomatoes and Onions!
The Lettuce is going to town!

FRAME 2.

Putting in our first SQUARE FOOT GARDEN

Building the frames.

I have to move them to the Community Garden, so I
used hinges at the corners instead of nailing them.

Sandy and me at the moment we finished installing the frames.
Filled with peat, vermiculite and compost.
Nylon rope for the grid.

This is day one.  Stop in often and watch our garden grow.
