Friday garden progress....

All cut
     Today we were operating in overdrive. With rain predicted for Sunday and Mr. Rural gone tomorrow we knew that we had to complete a few of our garden projects today. We finished four of our raised beds (except the top lip) and two privacy fences. It was tiring but they are ready to be seated in the ground.

     We used cedar for the raised beds and then treated the beds in Penofin. This will have plenty of dry time before vegetables go in the ground, roughly a month. The beds will have a 2'x6" lip around the top which will make the beds look more finished. That will go on once the beds are in the ground allowing for easier positioning as we sink and level the beds.





Whoa it's like Ikea
but they turned out nice
     We also put together two of these super cute cedar privacy screens. They were an Ebay purchase for just $20 each which, if you've been looking for privacy screens, is a killer deal. You can find them here. Phew, that was a lot of work. My hands are killing from staining. Check back Sunday for some more garden picture updates as we put in the beds and start on the planter edging. Exciting!
