Well, it's been a busy week! I finally got my raised beds built and was very happy with the way they turned out. Thanks to my friend Jessica who suggested I go to ReStore, I found a whole bundle of 10' long 2x6's for only $25!! I know you should probably use cedar for something like this so it won't rot, but on a budget, this will do! And for the cost, I can rebuild another one in a few years! I'm all ready for a load of compost from the city, and then my strawberries and blueberries can be planted!
So here is the bad news. . . it was such a warm day last Saturday while I was building my raised beds, I decided to let the cats out in the backyard. It's fenced in, but in the middle of running the saw, I didn't see Gizmo jump over the fence!! We haven't seen him since! :-( We finally put out a live trap with sardines in it, but still no Gizzy. I'm starting to get worried because he is de-clawed and is an indoor cat. . If anyone has seen him around the Mt. Comfort/Crofton Manor Subdivision area please let me know!! fotomichelle@cox.net
Here are some photos of the new beds, and some photos of Gizzy so you can identify him. He didn't have his collar on. :-(
the lumber wasn't in perfect shape, but not bad for flower beds!
