Hügelkultur Raised Beds
What a great idea! I have a bed just sitting right now and I could do that until it starts snowing and the ground freezes. -

Kind of, or they could be on the outside too. Or the posts could be on the outside and the trellis on the inside, though it’s all hypothetical until hubby actually starts building the beds. -

Oh no! Sorry that happened! Maybe a t-post on the outside of each corner post to keep them from shifting? Can you bang them back into place with a sledgehammer? When (if) we ever get some pallet beds made, my plan was to put a t-post or 2 on each side to attach trellises to as well as to... -

How’s everyone’s gardens doing? I picked our first few half ripe tomatoes. I don’t trust the crows. I have more peas, radishes, dill, salad onions, carrots and turnips planted. Strawberries, green beans and cukes are coming on well. Not too sure about the turnips. My sweet aunt told me they... -

So I tried a nasturtium flower. It really didn’t have any taste, but had a pleasant feel. Apparently you make pesto with it. How colorful would that be? -

😬 Well, if I get sick, who’s going to water the garden and more importantly, feed the cats and be the house elf?? -

Oh, I removed the top floor of my California quail tenants abode to put in my garden beds. They will have to do without the penthouse view. They still have a sizable pile of branches to live in. -

They are very pretty! I did hear the flowers are edible. I’ll see how my husband likes them first. He’s a good sport at trying new things. Mine are just starting to bloom. That’s what I heard and along with a splash of pretty, it’s why I wanted to grow them. -

Wow! All those gardens look fantastic! I have 2 garden beds to fill. My plan was to use the pile of tree trimmings to fill the bottom of them with once the California Quail moved out, but they are still there. I saw the first batch leave with their babies, so I don't know if this is a second... -

Oh thank you! I’m making a list. Since I’m old, we’ll likely go with the less expensive screws. I tried taking a pallet apart today. The genius who assembled it drove the nails in at an angle so it wasn’t a pleasant experience. On the plus side, my barrage of texts to my husband from the... -

@gtaus So if you don't mind a stupid question....what size and type of screw do I need to go buy to make a pallet raised bed? I am going to try my hand at it next week while hubby is out of town. And how many for one bed? -

I love how nice your planters are. Radishes would work well, if you like radishes. I do and I have been planting a row every week wherever I can get one in. What about peas? If you have a trellis setup, they wouldn't depend so much on a deeper root to support themselves. I have mine planted in... -

I don’t consider myself an actual real gardener, but I finally found the packet of Black- eyed Susan seeds I have been looking for since 2009. I planted them in starter pots and have them all toasty in the windowsill. We’ll see. I had a hanging basket of them once and it was just beautiful... -

I'm going to be planting this week. It's pretty warm and while it's about 3 weeks earlier than usual, my starts are chomping at the bit and I have lots of "Wall of Water" plant protectors to put around the plants. My tomatoes are Oregon Spring variety and the website claims they can take some... -

Before I knew what I was doing when we moved to a rural property ala Green Acres :lol: , I got a load of horse manure, dumped in in front of the house and planted bare root roses in it. They were the most beautiful roses I ever saw. The manure was pretty fresh. -

Hey all! How’s your gardens going? I got my radishes, peas and carrots planted out in the beds and started tomatoes, sunflowers, cukes and sweet pea flowers indoors. It’s so nice to see the iris, peonies, and other perennials poking their leaves up. -

I got all my seeds a few weeks ago. I'll be starting them toward the end of next month as we don't plant here til the end of May after frost danger is about over. I really miss the long growing season of San Diego county where I grew up. I'm expanding from the tomatoes, onions and cukes of last... -

I got my new beds last week and have assembled the 2 round ones and one oblong. I have the oblong bed ready to plant the garlic I ordered to be here next month. We had a couple nights of frost last weekend, so the season is starting to wind down. I covered the tomatoes, but I will be picking the... -

I like the metal bed I used this year. When we had our handful of 100+ degree days, I checked the soil twice a day and watered as appropriate. The metal got warm, but the tomatoes loved it. I used plastic kiddie pools leftover from the ducks to grow cukes and squash. It worked pretty well. They...
