I hope I'm as productive in the garden today as I was yesterday. I need to go to the store, and that will eat up my morning.

Why line the insides?Next year will be my first attempt with some raised beds for things like carrots and beets and maybe onions. I'm being gifted with all the pallets I want. I'll line the insides with old tarp material that is from hoop coop tops that get replaced. I've got lots of wood to fill the bottoms with too. The sun is bright here today and I hope the puddles in the garden are gone by nightfall.

The little tiny one on the end to off and grew very well. Our target dig date is 8-5 to 8-10. These are a 100 day to maturity variety. After the SP's are dug I think we may plant a row of collards in the same row after it is tilled up good. We can grow collards year round here.Planting started with a little experiment. A tiny fragment of a plant and a normal plant side by side. Will the tiny one flourish and make potatoes? Time will tell.

I want to try and keep the side walls protected from rot as long as possible. Trying to think ahead a little I may put a column of gravel down the middle from the ground up to within a foot of the top to allow heavy rains to drain and not drown the plants. I lost about 15-20% of the last planting due to puddling that lasted to long.Why line the insides?
