Mini raised beds

Grandpa built mini raised beds for the three kids. Ryan and Katelyn, now called Katimay by me, decided to paint theirs. It was a great outdoor project. These photos are from April 25th.




Ryan did quite well and even got his name on it.




Katimay got more paint on her than on the box,







but then switched over to paper and had a ball.




They both helped to get their layers going. We started with cardboard, then straw, soil, peat and compost.




They each planted a pea plant and some lettuce.


Wait until to see what they are looking like now!!! Need to get some current photos!
