 So, Kevin finished the raised beds in on our island garden. We still need to fill them with organic compost, which will happen sometime this week. It will be easier to contain the dirt and keep the weeds out.  Kevin's potato experiment is successful. Out of 16 potato seeds, four plants have taken hold in a serious way. There are two potato plants, in particular, that are growing so fast. Kevin has had to add another plank of wood on one side to contain the extra leaves he's heaping on top of them. We're feeling really encouraged... no mould, no grubs, all looking great. All organic, too, which is even better!

Anne and Kevin - kudos to you for the charming transformation of your vegetable garden!! Particularly love the live edge wood planks used to create the raised beds. I think the mulch/organic matter you are using must be 'high octane'...the cucumber plants look to be about triple the size of the first picture you showed us when Kevin built the climbing mesh wall!!
