Our Vegetable Garden: Part 1

At the beginning of April, Jonathan and I took a day to build two 4x20 ft raised beds in the backyard. Jonathan mowed down a section of the backyard and we called a couple friends to help us shovel 3 tons of dirt. It was quite an adventure, but well worth it! We counted 24 man-hours from start to finish. 
Here's the documentation:

One word: stinky!

After!


The hard workers! 
Guian, Jonathan and Monika. 
Danny and David had to leave half way through to go to class. Thanks guys for all your help!

The end.
