Last September we made a keyhole garden in our backyard. Here’s a site that explains what it is if you are curious. We didn’t want to use our regular ground/soil because we have railroad ties on the tiers in our backyard & they would contaminate the vegetables & it wouldn’t be healthy, defeating our purpose of a garden.
Building our Keyhole Garden:

We went to the compost to get the FREE compost, some tree pieces, leaves, and anything else we could find to use to make our garden.

We even found this wire at the compost that we got for free. Jaidan is helping daddy tie it up to put the in the middle of our garden.

We also bought these nice looking blocks to line the top of it with. We are a few short so we need to go get more.
Today we finally got to make our garden functional! (Only 6 months later ;))
What shall we plant?

We are really new to all this so we decided to start some of our seeds inside until they are ready to transplant!

We had some seeds that I got either free or pretty dang cheap online last year. We also went to Lowe’s and picked out some more.

I thought this part would be really neat for Jaidan but he really didn’t want to get his hands dirty.

So Jaidan dropped the seeds in while I did the dirty part of covering it up. I’ll keep you updated when we get anything growing!
Now for the keyhole garden:
I’ll keep you updated if/when we start seeing some action. I’m REALLY excited! 🙂
