 ADDING GARDENING SPACE
     About three years ago David drew up the plans for three raised garden beds to be used for growing vegetables.  The first one was completed that year and has been producing ever since.  Having a raised bed encourages intense gardening and we are amazed at the amount of produce we harvest.
     This year it was decided we should have, at least, another bed constructed.  So we called our local Man-of-all-jobs and another bed appeared exactly like the first one although they were constructed by two different contractors. 
     The day it was completed I called our friend and winter snow removal expert (another Man-of-many-talents) and the next afternoon Ricky arrived with the soil to fill the bed.  It was a beautiful sight to see the second bed completed.  We are so happy with the look of the gardening area that we are contemplating having the third bed added next Spring.
     There are two positive outcomes from this project - more room to grow food and less lawn to mow.
