I filled up the beds with sheet composting materials in October and they weren't anywhere near being composted enough. I might try this fall and winter, though. And so glad you like my space here.

I love your version and am wondering if you tried gardening through the winter months? I built the cold frames on labor day last year and harvested lettuce for a salad on Thanksgiving day and again on Christmas and New Years. <br /><br />I just found your blog this evening and am really enjoying your projects and plan on coming back for more. <br /><br />check out my cold frames and other hobbies at www.laughingorange.com<br /><br />I also love the luminaries. I think we are somehow related as you seem to have the same amount of energy as myself.....No, I think you have more to also have all those kids to deal with too.....LOL!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed your blog.<br />Susie WilburnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097748844135258151.post-86496832796436814332011-02-25T12:06:58.217-07:002011-02-25T12:06:58.217-07:00Oh, and I love love love your pictures!

I saw some of the photos before this post, and was really wondering what in the heck was going on, and now I know!! So cool! I am really super proud of you for seeing this project through. Keep going (or definitely put your feet up if you are finished by now!). And thank you for sharing your amazing hard work here, in a long, and undoubtedly time-consuming post.

Mine isn't nearly as nice as yours are... we have a whole bunch of old fence posts stored and I'm using those as my borders :) May not be pretty, but they were free!

Though I'm thinking after this summer's disastrous container garden results he will be more inclined next year! But then again, I'm still waiting for help with the 'patio wannabe' for the flagstones we schlepped up here from Eatonton almost six years ago! <br /><br />Good job, and I can't wait to see what happens with it next summer! Well, I guess first I can't wait to see how much all that dirt and sheet composting (though I have no idea what that actually is) is going to cost and how much work it's gonna be! (By the way, how much did all that wood cost?)Wander to the Waysidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056931538024315352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097748844135258151.post-30454392786964885112010-10-10T09:20:59.559-06:002010-10-10T09:20:59.559-06:00missy, I felt pretty much the same way at first, b...missy, I felt pretty much the same way at first, but finally decided that I actually needed the raised beds to have a decent shot at growing something. And yep, I am doing the sheet composting in the beds this time, with a layer or two of actual soil so it isn't just compost. I have them about halfway filled up and am hoping to finish them off this next week. (It's been a ton of work) Good luck with your garden!

It will be so worth it and not matter by next year how long it took to get them made! <br /><br /> I am attempting my first trial of sheet composting but did not build raised beds seeing as my history with gardening is less than stellar....so I didn't feel I could justify the expense for wood until I can actually grow something. I'll be posting a series on my own little blog once I get it organized. <br /><br />So you are going to try sheet composting again - just within the beds this time?missyhttp://www.allireallyneed.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097748844135258151.post-60748848964186520622010-10-07T09:41:25.548-06:002010-10-07T09:41:25.548-06:00Tutorial please!
