I can't believe it's spring already!  I decided this year to do square foot gardening.  We mostly reused materials.  The composite decking we used to make the boxes was taken from the deck at my mothers house.  She hated the way the deck looked so we repurposed a few boards, and now we are both happier.  We screwed together the boxes with the screws that held the decking to the posts.  We laid saved upnewspaper down as a weed barrier and bought a soilless mix at hewitts and added extra compost to it to fill the boxes.  We divided the boxes into one foot sections using slats from the vinyl blinds that were in the dining room when we bought our house.  We've topped it all off with cedar mulch in the path.  Hopefully it wont be too soon before the fence goes up, we've already had an animal digging in the beds, but luckily nothing was planted yet.  I plan on putting up a scarecrow at the back center once the fence goes up, but we'll see.  I'm tempted to work on the fence right now despite the rain! 

I have also been very busy working and horseback riding so far this season.  With all of this I hardly find time to sleep!  I guess what I shopuld probably be doing right now is cleaning the house instead of looking out the window at the rain and bloging, but it's been a long time since I have been on here so I deserve it right?  LOL.  I put updates on the garfen as I go along.  Hopefully the rain stops soon!
