Garden renovation project

Well, I just wanted to share my first real garden renovation project. So, I was asked to come up with an idea for a new vegetable garden. As the home owners wanted to pull out the rail road ties that had been there since they moved in 17 years ago.

Before I started I drew up plans based upon the gardener's desired wants, those were a culinary herb bed, cut flower bed, vegetable garden with crop rotation. I really enjoyed this process of planning and drawing as it gave me the opportunity to research garden designs, soil amendment needs, vegetable crops to grow and crop rotation plans.

This project is still in the renovation stages and the overall process is fun to be apart of. I cant wait to see the end results. So, I will keep everyone posted on the progress in the mean time here are some photos. 


Wow, those railroad ties are gonna be heavy.

Before the renovation such a great space, I am excited to get started.

We are ready to begin, yeah

Oh man, that was work those ties were heavy but glad I am done. So, fun to start with a clean slate.

Wow, look at that earthworm they were everywhere in the railroad ties.
