Bones of a Vegetable Garden

We finally pulled this out of the ground last week and couldn’t be more happy.  Yes, it’s a clothesline pole.  The problem is there was only ever one (I would have used it if there were two).  It’s mate had been pulled from the ground long before we moved in, so it was just an eyesore, and right in the middle of the sunniest part of our backyard.

With that pole out of the way I can fit 2 more 4/5 foot garden beds back there.  (I’ve dug up that one on the right.)

But my favorite project we’ve worked on is using fallen branches to make the frame for a bean teepee!  I am so excited, and I think (hope) I’ve gotten my kids excited about it as well.

Yes, as the bones of our vegetable garden become more apparent–this is shaping up to be a great year of backyard gardening.
