Yep. Ever since I saw the garden in the back yard, which occupies about half of the back yard, I wanted to make a vegetable garden with raised beds, eventually enclosing it like a greenhouse in the long term.

I’ve been too busy and my money has been to scarce trying to pay enough to live here that I haven’t made any progress on achieving that goal. It really doesn’t help that lumber prices went though the roof around the time we moved in, so I can’t even really afford to buy the wood I would need to make the raised beds. And I don’t want like 6" or whatever raised beds. I’m thinking more like 3 ft. I don’t want to have to crawl on the ground or even really bend over to plant/tend/harvest whatever I plant. So it’s not going to be a small amount of wood that I’ll need.

Then I need to figure out how to find the time to attend to it, when I should plant/fertilize/harvest, how often I should tend to the plants etc… There’s a lot I don’t know about what it takes to maintain a veggie garden. I’ll get there eventually, or I’ll die trying.
