Trees Are Coming Down!

This is a big week - my husband has made arrangements to have the 2 trees that are shadowing my garden-to-be removed this week. Yeah! And he has arranged help over Memorial Day weekend to help build the raised beds. Another yeah! I was scoping out the space this morning with my 8-year old, and I think I'll be updating my original plan of 8x4 beds to 10x4. Eight feet just didn't seem very large  when we were standing out there! We should have more than enough room for four beds, which I think is a good number to start with, with room to expand. So it looks like I'll be leveling the slope next weekend. I can't wait!
