Two New Garden Beds, One sore blister

On Monday I went to Masters to get the timber for the beds..


And it only JUST fit into the car!! The car complained all the way home too.


I made this one yesterday, and also....




I grew a cat!!!!!!!



And finished the other one this afternoon. I have a large blister on my finger though, which won't be fun at work tomorrow :(. To make both beds it cost me $167.00, but I ran out of nails! So I will have to get some more, they were about $8. Still much cheaper then the kits you can buy- and I didn't like the thought of metal beds, wouldn't the metal heat up and dry out the beds faster? These ones here are 180cm long, 120cm wide and 40cm high. I normally have to put a pest exclusion net over the garden to stop fruit fly in summer and cabbage moth... well every other season, so I purchased taller corner posts to help support it. Now they just need soil! Hopefully I can get some this weekend or next? Fingers crossed!

Happy Gardening :)
