Isn't it interesting that there's usually a car blocked in the garage - or something - that forces us to finish when the temptation is there to quit? It's all so beautiful already. Can't imagine how gorgeous it will be when your plants are big and lush. You and DH do good work!!sherryocalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367991971551038582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-16433028794018999702011-03-07T13:50:13.513-08:002011-03-07T13:50:13.513-08:00I think you accomplished a lot.

At our last house, we had endless deliveries of compost, soil, mulches, gravels, sand, cobbles etc. My car spent more time trapped in the driveway than on the road some weeks! Your raised beds are looking great though. I wondered about bowing on the long beds, we kept ours to 8ft in length so we didn't have to deal with that, but I'm glad you got it fixed. Love the edger along the sidewalk too!Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-81491832715672869302011-03-07T09:34:37.085-08:002011-03-07T09:34:37.085-08:00Your raised beds look great!
