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 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.

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!
