Laboring for Labor Day Weekend

In honor of labor day, we spent the day in the San Antonio heat building a new vegetable garden.  And it all started with 4 cubic yards of dirt...

Jenny came up with the overall design of the garden and I figured out how to build the planter boxes.

The inner portion is within a six foot enclosure measuring 12x12.  The inner planter boxes are protected from squirrels, birds, and other pests by the netting.  On two sides there are 2x12 planter boxes for heartier plants.

Mr J was extremely helpful in building the structure.  Here is a photo of him with some of his favorite tools.
