Garden Set-Up

New Garden view from our front porch back - that bright white all consuming light in the distance is heaven (or The Lake, as some might call it).

Potatoes are buried on the left - White Superior on the flower box side, blue on the back side. The right-hand side is for compost - started with an abandoned salad from last night, old plants from prior years, ground up leaves, and every earthworm I found while rearranging the gardens.

Cilantro, Oregano, and Strawberries in the flower boxes - survivors from prior years...

I used 2X6 hangars (aka connectors) typically used in framing to rest the 1X6 removable front portions of the potato box. The idea is that you can remove the bottom board and dig around for potatoes that are mature while younger potatoes are still growing at higher levels. Same goes with the compost side - mature compost can be accessed from the bottom.

MF Bed 1 and MF Bed 2 - MF 2 is the furthest and we planted Mary Washington Asparagus, Red Burgundy Onions, Green Bunching Onions, Green Lettuce, and Mesclan.

We have two other beds that are each larger than these, but they need a little TLC this year. Both are located further down the backyard, and I'll likely focus on growing pumpkins and corn down there since its further away and we don't harvest it much.
