McGyver would be proud-

I needed to cut down ony my food bills (yes I am very much a foodie ;)

I planted basil, fennel, choclate mint and nasturiums (peppery tasting fowers).

I wanted to do a vegetable plot to augment the herb garden but they need more space and I did not want to trench another garden bed. I was at work and some machinery came in wooden crates. Aha, I said to myself, they would make a great raised bed. It took a batch of cookies to get the larger box to my house (it was 4 inches longer than my back seat).

I set the larger one on the smaller one (drainage) and voila, a raised vegetable bed. It took three bags of dirt to fill it but I can walk around it to get into my basement and hopefully it will confuse the vermin.
