Raised Bed Building - Day 1

The massive amount of snow that had been covering my back yard, finally melted so it was time to start putting the plans into motion.  As discussed in the Planting Plan, the construction of 7 beds started.  In the image below, taken from the west, you can see the beginning framework of the beds laid out as well as the metal posts for the inner fence to keep my dogs out of the garden.


The image below, taken from the south-west, helps show where the passive solar heating barrels are going to go.


The image blow is taken from the north-west angle.


The final image is taken from the north-east angle, right next to the shed.


Unfortunately, cold temperatures (sub 30F) is preventing the use of mortar mix to add the second layer for now.
