we moved & are settling into our new home on the arkansas-oklahoma border. the first goal of our new home was to build raised beds. with some untreated wood, tools & a little elbow grease, we built four garden beds. we used the mu extension publication as our guide. (by the way, if you haven't connected with an extension office near you, i highly recommend it. they have a wealth of knowledge & are paid to help you!)
with our small amount of space, we used every inch of growing room-
planting shade-loving swiss chard in between tomato plants
& building trellises for squash & cucumber to climb (for this trellis, we used bamboo & gardening twine).
we are making progress in this bare yard, one step at a time.
what are some of the ways you use your garden space efficiently?
