I made three more planter boxes for the caged garden. Now we have five and Heather has started planting lettuce for a winter garden. There are four boxes left to make.
Planter boxes now in the cage.
Another angle:
The three new boxes.
and here’s one under construction:
Box assembly line.
I haven’t been in the shop as much since getting back from England, but hope to get a few more projects out before the cold weather settles in. Â You know, California cold, like below 70.
If you need me – I’ll be in the garden.

The inside of the boxes are lined with weed block fabric to help hold all the dirt in.

Those look so awesome. I wonder if you can even keep gophers out. Those are the worst for us.

I don’t get many gophers in my yard, but I think this box would keep them out. First they are placed on top of gravel and the bottoms of the boxes are solid redwood. You’d need an industrial sized gopher to get through all that.

My daughter lives in Florida, she posted a picture of a person in a heavy winter coat with the caption, “What we wear when it drops to 70.”

A “winter garden” open to the elements gave me pause … but I live in Colorado, so what do I know.

If it wasn’t for irrigation, I’d be living in a semiarid waste land. We can grow crops almost all year, except in the Months of Dec, Jan and parts of Feb.

“CA cold” made me chuckle. It’s in the 30’s already here, and I saw snow flakes up north yesterday. Love your boxes. You do good work.

I think these boxes are going to work. And this week it might even rain.
