I received a notice from Fedex that our 5 Bidee Beds were enroute and will be here Thursday. I started removing the old raised bed walls rhat I made from pallet wood, lined with plastic yesterday. I will finish removing the remaining four and a half this morning and take them to the transfer station this afternoon. Then I will shovel the soil up from the sides and cut a gap transverse in the middle for the bracing rods and that way I can assemble the beds and Barb and I will be able to drop them over the soil pile, and rake the soil level.

I replaced two the beds last spring and the Birdee Beds are real quality. Birdee had asignificant sale this spring and so we are continuing the upgrade process. The pallet wood did their job, but they have had it.

The garlic and shallots I planted last fall are doing we. I want to transplant cabbage this week as well as cucumber and pole green beans yet this week.

My garden is doing GREAT!

The garlic is amazing, but considering we’ve had a better year with rainfall than the last two, that’s no surprise.

Hopefully, we’re done with the cold.

I see in reviews that Epic Gardening gives them a Thumb's Up, too.
