Our small but dedicated crew came together Saturday and Sunday for what I’m calling Demo Weekend. Priority numero uno: get rid of everything we don’t want in our garden. And look at what we got done; take that blackberry bushes, and your stubborn roots too!

Compare this to what it looked like last week (photo taken from the other end of the garden) I think we did a pretty damn good job for a bunch of rookies.

Two of our group will be picking up the lumber for the beds before Friday, and then Friday & Saturday we’ll be building our raised beds as per this plan (how can you tell it was drawn by the architect in our collective?):

To do this week: hunt down some weed-free, preferably organic soil and/or compost. Anyone have any suggestions where we can find this?
