George's Raised Garden Vegetable Bed June 7 2009 2

My brother and I built this raised garden bed from 2 x 6 cedar lumber. It measures 5' x 12' and contains a mix of fine composted soil, worm castings and sweet peet. The tomatoes are a mix of beefsteak, cherry, lemon boy and big beef. I also have green beans, cantaloupe, zucchini, cucumber, various hot peppers, radish and red beets. A few herbs are also in the mix. This is my first attempt at growing a garden and so far it is giving me great joy and I'm learning a lot about God's great earth and how amazing nature really is. I hope you enjoy watching. Any helpful hints are always welcome. Peace out! -"Farmer" George

Great video. This is my first year growing anything as well and I started a series too. I'm trying to see as many different veggie gardens as I can to see how other folks are doing. I've learned pretty much everything from youtube and I'll be watching yours for updates.

Thanks Ray! I'm learning lots from your videos...you are truly a pro! I got the pvc hoop trick here on youtube. I actually attached 1 foot sections of 1 inch pvc to the inside of my raised bed and the 1/2 inch pvc simply slips into the 1 inch. You can also simply stick the 1/2 inch into the soil...works great! -George

Really great job on the raised bed. Those pvc plumbing hoops are genious! I am definitely gonna make some hoops of my own for next spring's late frosts.
