New Garden
With the chicken coop project all wrapped up, it was time to get busy with the garden project. We have talked for years about having a raised garden bed instead of trying to fight with the extremely rocky soil in our backyard. Since the chicken coop is now occupying part of the old garden area, this seemed like the perfect time to finally get that raised bed done! Earlier today we had 5000 pounds (80 blocks at 60 lbs each) of retaining wall blocks delivered (I'm standing on them as I take the picture below) for the perimeter of the bed. It will be about 15 feet in diameter and about 12 inches high. More pictures to follow as we make progress.

Did ya find a good place to get them from? We have many yard projects coming up, and at least one will probably include retaining wall blocks...
Rachel- Home Depot. Not sure it is the best place, but it sure was the easiest!
Love the chicken coop!!! So impressed with the job you and Matthew did. It's so neat that you were able to do it together.
The garden bed looks like it's going to be really nice! I bet the kids will really enjoy having a garden in the back yard. I know ours do. Well, except the weeding part! But they love the planting and eating part.
