We did it! We are officially gardeners. We built a raised bed using some railroad ties from another part of the yard for the base. We followed some instructions from the web on how to start the soil from the ground up with out using any pesticides of any kind. We went to a co op in Maryville, TN and bought several beautiful plants. We have zucchini, squash, tomatoes, carrots, green and red peppers! It has become a nice relaxing evening adventure to walk out in the back yard and see what we have created. We have made a few mistakes (like the spinach that didn’t work) and will do a better job with placement of some things next time. It has helped with new recipes, sharing with our neighbors, and creating super healthy organic fruits and vegetables. #homegardening #susong7 #gardens #knoxvillerealtor #backyard
