Almost ready to plant!

Most of my plants have survived being raised by me. It is almost time to plant!
I planted Italian parsley, some fancy tomatoes, kale, red leaf lettuce, buttercrunch lettuce, Texas sweet onions, green onions, leeks, basil and rosemary. I will direct sow some carrots and cukes.

Here is my plum tree I received for Mother's Day. Yum! I can't wait for a great plums!!!

My garden bed. It took 42 cinder blocks (we had to go back for two more). They are heavy. Very heavy. I put weed blocker fabric down before the dirt went in.

The inside dimensions ended up being 2' 8" by 9' 10". We filled it with 2 yards of compost/soil.

Progress-A Few Weeks Ago

My grow light is emminating it's rays of heat and "sun". Most of my veggies and herbs are seeded and some are sprouting!

I've priced-out cinder blocks and just need my Dad to find a time to get them with me.

Things are coming together!

This website has been helpful to me during my gardening tutorial. :)

My grow light is put together. My seeds arrived!

Excited!

The Raised Garden Bed

First of all, I have no idea whose legs those are.

I would like to make a raised bed this year for the following reasons:

1. It is a designated spot for my manageable garden. I'm trying not to dive in too deeply, too quickly.

2. I've heard lots of great things about them (great drainage, soil control etc.).

3. I'm thinking cinderblocks, because wood would rot and I'd have to start all over again.

Any input?
