We built Redwood planter boxes today for the Organic Vegetable Garden. These boxes cost about $125 each including soil and amendments. We used 2x6 redwood and 4x4 posts.

We posthole dug the corners so the planters would be set into the earth.

We reused an old wood crate for our trellis support for the Sugar Snap Peas.

I am now planting the garden with squash, eggplant and golden zucchini based on the appropriate spacing recommended.

A close up of the snap peas!
This took approx. 4 hours to complete not including the time to pick up the lumber, soil and plants. Let me know if you would like a vegetable or fruit garden in your yard!
