What did you use to make your beds (type of materials, corner brackets?) I garden in the city in some oddly shaped space, so I've mostly been using earth boxes and the ground where I can, but I am scheming to come up with some space for some small raised beds! After all, Spring is just around the corner!Mel Mazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11177526723877071956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-45100707347726182042008-11-20T17:43:00.000-08:002008-11-20T17:43:00.000-08:00Aha!

I should scour the neighborhood for bags of leaves. <BR/>I would love less weeds in the spring - especially those wild onions! <BR/>also, thanks for saying that the garden is a forgiving teacher, it's good to hear that, since I'm basically making it up as I go - planting different things, trying different techniques. This summer was only my second year trying to grow anything. <BR/>so again, thank you for the information!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08212676204130654295noreply@blogger.com
