For Mommy's birthday she was promised raised beds for her veggie garden. Daddy did lots of research for this gift and was excited to get started. Last weekend he braved the heat, digging up some of the remaining lilies, pulling out some bush stumps that were hiding and generally got the area ready. Poor guy! It was so hot out that he set up the canopy just to give him a little shade.
After spending this Saturday prepping the basement for the waterproofer, Daddy was bummed by all the rain on Sunday. When the rain broke for a little that evening, he grabbed his two helpers and went to work building the frames.
Our safety gear poster child.
Laying out the first frame.
When they got bored 'helping', the girls started to dig through the rain drenched soil to find worms. (They have a big ole fascination with the critters.) They captured three of them and put them in paper cups. They wanted to keep them in a jar, but we talked them into returning them to the garden where they would help our garden grow. Whew!
The three frames assembled. Next we'll dig up the grass from the extra space needed (this project expands our garden area a bit) and some trenches to embed the frames. We can't wait to get the dirt in to fill them and do some planting!
Daddy rocks! :)
