Save my Back Gardening
***
All my vegetables are above ground now
to the perfect height to sit in my yard chair to tend.
My sweetie built the composite wood beds last year,he put the grid up for tomato support this past week.
In front of the tomatoes I planted peppers since they don't
get so large. Kind of like the square foot gardening technique.

I added 4 whiskey barrels this year
for the overflow.
They have squash in them, and a Roma tomato in one.
We're still thinking of what to put over the black weed block. We have large bark in a couple places in the yard and the dogs carry it off to chew on...I love planting... and then I love an easy garden!
Happy Weekend all!!
Hi Cat! Now that's the way to do it! I don't like all that squatting and bending anymore either...my knees just kill me. Your garden boxes are great, nice size too. Have fun tending without the bending!!! xo Paulette

Great garden, Cat! Organized, efficient, AND pretty! I can see some of your sweet jack pack in the background!! ♥
ReplyDeleteWoow your above the ground veggie planting looks great... something I would like to do myself but...
ReplyDeleteanyhow that is no doubt why I like pot-plants much easier to care for... Hope your weather is kind to your planted garden...
We have above ground gardens this year too.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of the support for the tomatoes...all of this "above ground" planting should be puppy proof! I pray for bountyful blessings.
ReplyDeleteWe are still cold cat, it got warm and then it went away. It was frosty this morning. Arney has the garden ready, but we are afraid to plant. I love your above the ground garden, this is wonderful, a very good thing.
ReplyDeleteHappy gardening, mary
This if very nice! I would love my garden to be this way sometime. With my back I haven't wanted to garden for awhile. How lucky you are.
ReplyDeleteNice! I think I should follow what you are doing in your garden.
ReplyDeleteCat every gardener reaches a time when these raised beds are the key to aching joints from the necessary bending..getting up is getting harder and these raised garden beds are the answer!
ReplyDeleteQuite brillant!
will you plant some basil in front of the tomatoes?
Hey Cat,
ReplyDeleteI was in B&N recently and was flipping through a beautiful magazine when some thread work caught my eye. I thought - that looks like Baumcat work to me. Sure enough, it was! I felt like I stumbled across a friend and it made me smile.
Your work is so beautiful and inspiring.
Congratulations on getting published in that pretty magazine (can't remember the name of it; new to me).
ooooh, your garden looks fabulous!!! it looks like you've got some green thumbs to go with those fabulous stitchin' fingers!!! have a great weekend!! :))
ReplyDeleteWow! I would Love to have my garden like this. It sure would save my back too. But I don't think my Hubby could build enough bins as my garden is rather large. But don't you just enjoy gardening? I sure do!
