Our New Veggie Patch + Crazy Weather!

planterprogress

I was watching Gardener’s World on Saturday morning and decided it was finally time to make that raised bed to grow some veggies in. Monty said that you can fill it with Hungarian Rye seed to act as a green manure protecting the space until Spring. So I sent Hubby to work right away to build me one. We’d talked about doing this for a while but weren’t ready to decide where to put it and what to grow in there.

Hubby was so pleased to be given a new project to do, he loves working with scraps of wood to create things.

It didn’t last long thankfully and the sun came back out. My prayers are with those affected by the hurricane.

Hope you all are safe and well.
