My sister, raised bed gardener sister, has installed two raised beds made from Austin stone. Last year she had just one raised bed and actually grew more food than I did. Sad. So I changed my garden over to raised beds this winter and I am reaping the rewards.
Raised bed gardener sister has four children. The oldest is 16 and the youngest is 2. I know, I know, but she really likes babies. They were all cute babies looking like purebred puppies. Seriously, they had the same baby four times.
She came up with the most excellent idea for toddler wrangling while gardening. Check out the toddler containment facility between the two raised beds. Smart sister. Very smart.
So I saw your tweet and came right over. I have just taken over care of grandson because second mother to run off. I believe your post is sent from heaven. I'm gonna get me one-- not toddler, have one of those, but the sandbox. I'll have DH make it soon as he comes. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCurtissAnn, Well isn't our timing incredible. I'll take that blessing and share it. Hugs for your little one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a little cutie he is! I miss having babies, lucky we have another grandson due later this year.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea of your sister. Cleverness (and making gorgeous kids) must run in the family Deb!
Oh and CurtisAnn, thank God for grandmothers like you! What a lucky little man you have.
ReplyDeleteHa!!! Priceless! And what great-looking stone sides to those beds. Now I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteThat's the most upscale sandbox I've ever seen! Your sister has a great idea there.
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of raised garden beds now too. And I love how inventive your sister got with the sandbox in the middle. Great idea!

Well, we know brains run in your family. She needs to get this to a magazine so others will integrate children/gardens/play.

Great idea!! I like playing in the sand myself! :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, I just wish I had thought of it when my boys were little.
