Popular Post rodger. Posted May 18, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 My 4 year old daughter wanted a place to grow some vegetables. So we came up with this plan, and we built this together. She helped measure, cut, drill, and assemble this cedar box. It was nice to spend some time with her building, even though she is young. It's made with 2 X 6 cedar, with 4 X 4 posts as the corners. Joinery is simple pocket screws. The joints are tight for now, but I expect the weather to make them move a lot in the seasonal changes. Ah well, it was fun and i look forward to fresh tomatoes! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She spent a good hour today looking for worms in the box, and was very concerned about their well being. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjk Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Way to go Pug & Lil Pug! Next project - some sort of trellis thing for the tomatoes or a wooden rake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Very Cool you two Pugs. Maybe this'll lead to a whole back yard of raised Vegetable beds. Nothing taste better then home grown vegetables. My youngest grand daughter always questions as to whether I have planted carrots each year... She doesn't eat them but she seems to really enjoy watching them grow.

Coop Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 That is too cool Pug, the time with your daughter and the build. I don't know if this is even conceivable in your area, but if you can buy "fishing worms" and put them in the box, she would be tickled when she finds them. Great job! Oh, and take it from experience, pulling weeds and picking tomatoes gets old when boys start knocking, so enjoy every minute of it NOW! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
