Right you are. I have my raised beds spread out in several locations. The more permanent garden has 4 4'x4' beds made with 2"x6" boards while the temporary bed is made from cinderblocks, 3 across and 6 long. We keep talking about putting in a pool but until we do, I have that place to garden.
The cinderblock garden was much easier to put together, just level the ground a bit and put the blocks down and I can use the holes in the blocks as little planters. This year I've got swiss chard, onions, and garlic in the hole, but other years I've put marigolds in to keep bugs away.
Thank you, I’m thinking of putting one in, permanently. I have wooden ones, right now, and they “leak” water when I put on the soakers. Great idea, using the holes in the concrete blocks.
Our community garden is moving forward. I think we’ll be able to have a small fall garden.
I had a pool, once, when we were young...
