Garden Plans > 2013: Raised bed Garden

About this Garden Plan

I've done traditional rows for years but am going to build raised beds this year. Tired of pulling weeds and the hard word of tilling. Going to put a few rows of squash and pumpkins though. Wish we had a longer growing season.

Garden Location: Kingsley, MI
Garden Size: 29' 11" x 39' 11"
