We
had a garden a few years ago but didn't keep it up in 2014 or 2015. We moved to North Reading, MA in March and I finally made some time to setup a new garden. It's great having fresh home grown vegetables and I'm excited to get started growing them.
With the help of my assistant it took about two hours to cut the wood sides of the garden box, set them up, level them, stake them, and fill the box with soil.
It's a bit late in the season to plant but at the least the garden box is ready for next year.
I planted some peas, beets, peppers, and basil and it seems likely we'll get some small amount of production this year.

Transplanted the Zucchini I started in a pot a week or so ago |

An awesome map I created with a Google docs drawing so I can remember where things are. |
I'm planning to post on how things turned out in a few months and include another picture from the same spot so you can see how things turned out.
Great assistant!
