More on Raised Beds

We've been thinking for the last year about putting ours in.....and this month in the Better Homes & Gardens magazine, there is a large article on a family who put a raised bed garden in their front yard...well worth getting the magazine for the article....not only that, but the another little magazine I get is the home improvement one from Lowes..guess what, they did an article about raised beds too so I knew it was time....
the above photo is one from the BH&G website.....I picked out one with hoops to show you what ours will look like later in the year...or so we hope anyway.....our growing season here in inland Southern California is long and with some cover can go through until Christmas if the weather holds up......

We didn't do any gardening today as we had jobs in San Diego county..but did go to a nursery to check out plants and get more inspiration.....both the jobs were cash for keys...adventures of locksmithing.....the first was a gorgeous condo overlooking a lovely valley...with a big patio area...I really liked it....the second was a cute older and smaller condo but it had alot of potential...no view but other good things going for it......
tomorrow we have other jobs coming up so its all good......and a good sized storm is coming in for Sunday.....so there goes the weekend......
