"It's the most wonderful time of the year."

I know that lyric is from a Christmas carol, but right now it's all about the dirt. It's time to garden. This morning I built a 1'x4' box that will sit on top of my 2'x5' box in the backyard. I wanted to add a second tier to the existing box to grow strawberries.

The landlord cut back the tall evergreen tree which resulted in more light for that box. I'm not replanting the squash/zucchini in that area this year as it was taken over by legions of mold armies.

Strawberries it is...and the strawberries that have been growing in the front yard flower bed have been transplanted to the box and several brand new strawberry plants have been added.
