Veggie Beds

Because of the clay soil struggle, I decided that, for our veggie beds, we will definitely have to go with 'raised beds'. We found these two 'easy-to-erect' beds on special at Builders (half price!), so decided to go for it. Here they are assembled in the yard in a nice sunny spot. Ideally when deciding on a spot for veggie beds you should also consider having their long axis running from east to west and if situated on a slope, the beds should be facing across the slope, not down. I was so tempted to start planting, but since winter has just begun I decided not to chance it. Instead, the plan is to start filling the beds with organic material from the garden to prepare them nicely for spring planting (in Sept).
