    I went with pure garlic this fall. I planted the 2×10 with a whole row of garlic. The garlic chives just kicked my butt.

    What is the best and the sweetest strawberry varieties to grow in my backyard? I love picking red and ripe strawberries and these are just impossible to get in the grocery store. Thanks.

    looks great and very neat looking. Gardening is def a lot of work, but it rewards exponentially. An herb garden has to be one of the most handy type of gardens. I also have garlic chives that have spread everywhere! They are delicious, but so hard to control.

    Toads are a little different than frogs. If the take up homestead, they will eat slugs. Inverted pots with entrances are good for toads.

    Your welcome. Thanks for subbing. A lot of herbs are perennials so once you get them in, you can enjoy them for years. I hope it goes well.

    My yard is almost like yours. Nearly the same. Where your porch is is where my patio is. I also have the stairs on the other side where yours is and it looks like the yard is about the same size. Where you have your plants is where I plan on planting a raised bed.

    Great video.. I have been growing herbs since 2011 (in the ground) but have never had a raised bed to put them in, you have inspired me I will definitely try this out in the Spring.

    When building a raised garden bed does it matter what kind of wood you use? Like would pressure treated contaminate the soil?
