In spite of the heat, folks are eager to get planting. Below are a couple raised beds we built for folks aiming to plant their own gardens.
 |
| (2) 4x4 raised beds installed in pre-existing mulched bed. |
FYI: It's not too late to throw in some last minute summer veggies like green beans, basil, okra, peppers, maybe some cucumbers, (if you've got lots of sun) sweet potatoes, and you just might be able to squeeze in a second season of plum or cheery tomatoes.

| "r" shaped bed, custom built to fit the contour of the deck and Roberta's distaste for "too many straight lines." |
Then again, Fall planting is just around the corner: cooking greens (chard, kale, cabbage, collards), salad greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula), roots (other than potatoes: carrots, turnips, rutabagas, radishes), the onion/garlic family (including chives, shallots, scallions), and the cool-weather-preferring herbs (parsley, cilantro, dill, fennel). September, October, November are your primary fall/winter planting windows. Get ready. Let me know if I can be of
help.
