The raised bed gardens have become quite popular it seems, but how about this for a raised bed? David saw this somewhat rusty stock tank in a junk pile at work. He was given the okay to bring it home, and I just love it!
Despite the shade you see in these pictures, this is a fairly sunny spot in our yard. After consulting with a cranky plant lady at the farmer's market, I planted a tomato, a cucumber, and a pepper.
I'm not sure any of them are going to produce anything, but it's still been fun. The cucumber plant is huge now and shades the tomato. The pepper plant doesn't seem to be doing much, but there's always next year!
My garden helper likes to play outside, but he does have his limits, especially when it's hot. He hopped onto this bench all on his own to look at me with his pleading eyes. Please can we go in now? It's HOT!
