Mary, Mary


Mary Mary, Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow?


Plan the 8x8 foot space. Rent a massive big machine and get your 6'5" husband to till it up and add a little mulch to try and help the cause.

Build a box for the raised bed. Good to have husbands for this, too.


Add 30 HUGE bags of super duper garden soil that will produce giant vegetables.

Plant the tomatoes (roma and celebrity), lettuce (romaine, red leaf & curly green leaf), herbs (basil, mint, rosemary and cilantro), strawberries, peppers (red & yellow bell and jalepeno), zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, green beans, cantelope and one stalk of corn. Whew!

Always good to have help from a ginger haired grandson in plantin' the strawberries.



Wait a while and see what happens!!

YUM!
