Bill started the garden where Bob and Debra had it last year. They had been throwing all the kitchen compost on top of the area. Bill tilled and toiled until there were four long raised beds, then he proceeded to put the local river stone around each bed. (Still not quite finished but -- priorities, priorities!) He then dug fence post holes, cemented them in and put 8' deer fencing around the beds. Bill also made rebar gates in and out of the garden. We call one the sunrise gate and the other the harlequin gate. With all that done, we began planting with two apple trees and various cold weather crops, some perennial flower plants and herbs. I'm so loving those. Still to be done is the arbor for vining plants. A garden for utility, but artistic at the same time. (That's Bill for you!)
