Raised Garden Bed with a Roof

Yes, that's right...

a roof for the garden!

We've just started gardening again

in the past couple of years

and I look forward to the season

with these two additional awesome options:

A Raised Bed

A Roof for the Garden!

There are two important reasons for our roof:

to keep the deer from chomping up our crops

and to extend the growing season.

Let me show you what I mean...

My husband made the super duper raised bed

you see above to make 

green beans harvesting a little less back-breaking.

We had a normal raised bed for vegetables like potatoes and tomatoes.  And we had to put a fence around it to keep the deer at bay.

He had to come up with a deer-repelling solution

for the super high raised bed. 

So he made a roof!

PVC pipe and chicken wire

created the perfect, lightweight solution.

But an added awesome bonus is that

we can simply add plastic

to make a "greenhouse" roof that

extends the growing season!

He's a genius!

What are you planting in your garden this year?
