my garden project

PrairieMom wrote: I finally finally got my garden finished. I had to rebuild the retaining wall 3 times. Then I had that 4 tons of dirt to drag back there, only to find out that I probably need 8 MORE tons. Yeah. that is going to wait until next year. So, i finally planted it, and here is the final result of all my hard labor.



We put in 3 raspberries, 2 blueberries, asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries, cucumbers, peas, red and yellow onions, garlic, dill, and Benjamin's pumpkin, and watermelon.


Here is Benjamin helping me out.



now all I have to do is sit back until harvest!

kit_kats_mom replied: That looks awesome. What a lot of hard work.

lisar replied: It looks great. Wanna come and build me one???

BabyOwen427 replied: You guys did an awesome job! I love the wall, how it flows with the slope of the land. You got to have some talent to be able to do that yourself, I don't think I could build a wall that looked that good

I just had one thought though, on your watering. The higher up into the air your sprinkler shoots the water the more chance it has to evaporate and in turn less water hits your plants. You might think about laying a soaker hose or something that trickles water right next to the plants. Just something to think about

Looks good. High five to Ben for doing such a good job!

Kaitlin'smom replied: WTG good job, I have been working on redoing my landscaping in the front, almost done then to get some mulch I got one section done and Kaitlin planted a bunch of flower seads and a grape tree, we have tons of little sprouts, she is very excited.

PrairieMom replied:
Thanks for the idea. I don't like the sprinkler that I have one there either. it just happens to be the sprinkler that I own the soaker hose is a good idea.

Glad to help
My dh and I are thinking of starting a landscape irrigation business. He went to school for landscaping and he loved the irrigation part of it.

CantWait replied: Awesome job Tara. Look exactly how I wanted mine this year. I'm not that up for the task though.

amymom replied: The rasberries, strawberries and asparagus will come back every year. Won't they????

It looks wonderful. I will be there at harvest time to EAT!!

PrairieMom replied:
yup, and the rhubarb too. I won't get any berries off the blueberries until at least next year, I won't be able to harvest the asparagus or rhubarb until the year after next. I probably won't get any raspberries this year either, maybe next year. BUT I will get my onions, spices, cucumber and some strawberries .
