The second season has started in my recycled raised bed.

Lettuce is growing on the bottom left and radishes on the top left.

our daughter planted her garden today .... its about the same size as yours but not near as fancy ...

Day Time, I hope that you didn't use Pressure treated lumber, that stuff has arsnic and some other nasty chemicals. Maybe next time, you can build with Trex recycled material. Just saying.

Thanks for the concern MuddyWaters62, This was made with plain pallet wood that was not treated with anything. The entire structure, down to the screws and bolts, was recycled from the addition project where I work. No particle wood or any other harmful materials (that I'm aware of). It has a shelf life as a result. Dad had several raised beds that are also made of plain wood. A few are showing signs of needing a bit of repair.

Good News Dave. My monitor showed a greenish tint to the wood. Carry on.

Ha, I see what it was. That was residue left over from season 1. Some weeds got scraped against the wood I think when I changed out some of the soil. Good eyes. It's getting watered today with the rain.

It's coming along nicely.

per Gidget ( "Taco Bell Chihuahua" ) --- I think you need a bigger box .. .. I've been following your project and have decided that I may build one for my daughter .... thanks for the continued reports
