Gardening - Healthy Living

Healthy living!   Thats the idea that I've been going for and eating as much unprocessed food as possible.   That then lead to gardening.   I first considered buying a pre fabricated raised garden bed, but then realized if I put a little effort in, I could build my own, much nicer for the same cost.

I purchased the following for a raised 18" - 4' x 6' garden:
1 - 4" x 4" x 10' - this was cut into 4 equal sections and Chris went fancy on me for the pointy tops
2 - 1" x 6" x 8' -  these were cut in half giving me the 
6 - 1" x 6" x 6' - No cutting necessary.
1 - Roll of weed barrier
32 - 40lb bags of topsoil and organic mix.
A little bit of effort and I managed to put it all together myself.

So far I'm attempting to Grow:
- Peppers, Green, Orange & Mini
- Tomatoes - San Marzano
- Garlic
- Sunflowers
- Onions - 3 Varieties
- Carrots
- Green Beans - 2 Types
- Cucumbers - Regular and Yellow
- Thyme 
- Blueberry Shrub (not in garden box)
- Avocado Seed (not in garden box)
