The photos below illustrate the steps in making our Vegetable Garden in our backyard (it is facing east - sun in the morning until about 4 pm in summer).
Note: we decided to make a Garden when friends gave us 7 plants of tomatoes and 3 plants of peppers in small planters. We already had collard greens we seeded a month ago in a large container.
 |
| DAY 1: Select the size of the garden and shave the grass. Here 105 inches x 45 inches. (the tomato, pepper planters and the container with the collard greens are under the porch) |
 |
| DAY 1: Unroll the plastic borders under the sun to make them softer and straight. |
 |
| DAY 1: Top soil (20 bags), Garden soil (6 bags) and Mulch (1 bag). |
 |
| DAY 1: Cut the plastic border pieces to size. |
 |
| DAY 1: Mark with stakes and twine the exact size of the garden. |
