    Hello

    Well it is May 2025 and the 6x6s are still looking good after 3 years[​IMG]
    Garden 2x6 PT Raised bed rotted and fell over after 30 years!
    Also we got our garden planting done on time this Memorial Day Weekend.

    Besides saving some money by using seeds left over from last year as a bonus this year our town landfill has made some compost for their good tax paying residents that has been tested to be safe! No One wants dirty dirt! LOL

    So we used our allotment for the garden. [​IMG]

    This years cost for plants, 3 bags of Plant-Tone organic fertilizer and plants such as tomatoes…etc $155.00
    This is 10’ x 6’ for 60’ square feet.

    Is your garden planted? How much did it cost?
    How big is it?

    My garden is in weeds and likely to stay that way this year. It has been too wet to even cut grass that often. I have to get out in the yard and take out the scotch broom, salmonberry and blackberry. The blackberry must grow about a foot a week in this weather.

    I haven't even attempted in years. It happens for me anyway.
