Vegetable Gardening

Going to have a 6" raised board all around the garden perimeter (to keep soil from washing away) but will have a series of raised 'berm beds' for planting and mulched pathways around the berm beds.



Yes. We figure the money we save on growing our own veggies will pay for the cost of putting in the garden in about... 50 years.
Just kidding (sort of)- this garden will not save us money for many years to come....but it will give us a happier healthier lifestyle, and that's worth a lot! Sort of like our bikes.

Hi Lisa,

Ohh I think your garden will more than pay for itself much sooner than later. You'll have better health and that alone is worth more than any money. It's the hidden cost you don't see. Not to mention, you will be enjoying fresh food which you can not get from a grocery store.

Our vegetables are not coated in the food grade wax. It is also free of pesticides and other harsh chemicals. We also harvest varieties of vegetables not available in the grocery store. We are growing three kinds of zuccini, one is called 8-ball. yes its perfectly spherical. Great for stuffing.

Wow. I keep forgetting how green the east coast is. It's very pretty... with land.

That will be quite a garden! Such fun! Who cares what it costs?

I have a big garden like that, but it's covered in plastic, because I don't have time to grow right now.
