We started my sons smaller too a few years back. It was 6x20. He liked it so much, I had to make it bigger.So we just moved one of the sides out,and added a few blocks to the end. He loves his garden,and its a good thing for kids to learn about.

Do you need to kill all the grass and weeds first before building the bed???

Round up works wonders. 2, 4-d on your broadleafs is magic too.

My plants withstood the storms. Now a little of that warm sun this week ought to get em going.

Mine is a raised little plot bout 3' wide and 15' long along my fence-line on the west side of my house, but it gets mainly morning and early afternoon sun because of the house next door. I have a small backyard and when it drains rainwater or sprinkler water it drains right into the garden. i think the nutrients from the grass fertilizer, morning sun and the constant moisture help out immensely as the growing season goes.

Good luck to all yall who are planting this spring.

Yep, I usually spray all the grass before I start a new bed. Like samich said,round up and 2 4 d is a magic potion. Usually just addind enough good soil on top will kill most grass,but a few like bermuda usually always finds its way out,so spraying is always best.

Glad I didn't plant yet. Way too much rain Saturday.

I don't know what's going to happen with my garden this year. I've had a lot of rain and have lots of work to do moving dirt etc before I can plant. I think I'm just going to be late planting this year.
