This week we have finally started to see the “fruits” of our labor! The garden is coming along and we’ve even been able to plant some things. WooHOOO!
If you missed the first two weeks, you can find them here. ↓ (Week 1 has the design plan for the entire backyard.)
Last week I mentioned that we added the sod to the bottoms of the raised beds. I thought it would be easier if we built the beds in stages so that we could fill in the dirt easier.
Honestly, I don’t know if it made a difference…and it was much harder to get the top pieces of the wood square once there was soil in the bottom. (HINDSIGHT!)
We ended up adding two smaller beds to the left, but I didn’t snap a shot of those, so that will have to be a surprise for another post. 😉
Once the bottoms were complete, we filled in around them with pea gravel. (It has been raining non-stop here in Indiana and we didn’t want a mud pit for the dogs to play in every day!)
With the bottoms full, we add the tops of the beds and had topsoil delivered. I made a huge mistake in calculating how much we needed and ended up with about half of this pile left over.↓
Thankfully a neighbor took what was left- a pricey mistake on my part, but I was glad to get rid of it so quickly!
As we added in the dirt we added amendments to the soil. We layered in:
- Sand
- Compost (we used mushroom)
- Mycorrhizal Inoculant Organic Root Enhancer
- Worm Castings
- Coconut Coir
We have very dense, clay soil here so I’m hoping this will help with growing! Let me just say…I’ve never had a green thumb. I’m learning as I go and I’m sure I’ll make a ton of mistakes. This first year is more of an experiment.
All the rain we’ve gotten has made it so hard to plant in the ground. My daughter and I have been moving the potted plants in and out of the garage for weeks, but we finally had SUN the end of the week!
We got the majority planted and are just waiting on our Subpod to finish the large bed.
Our herbs are looking pretty good and we’ve already been clipping off for meals.
Here’s a sneak peek of the progress…
The tape on the shed is for the window placement and I’ve started making the trellis for the vines.

You’ve defintely got lots of space for tons of food! Good thing you sorted out the soil situation.
Thank you, Robyn! We are excited to try our hand at gardening!
I love the way you describe each and every single thing in a detailed manner

I’ve gone through several on https://www.entrepreneur.com/author/uri-poliavich, and what stands out is how clearly he connects leadership thinking with product architecture. He often talks about Soft2Bet not just as a gambling company, but as a “platform ecosystem.” The way he describes optimizing casino infrastructure for player retention feels less like typical corporate talk and more like someone who’s genuinely immersed in UX and backend logic. For people who work with iGaming platforms, these insights are worth studying — they show how Soft2Bet turns casino gaming into something more structured, measurable, and scalable.

Heaps of games, live blackjack, quick reg. Safe with SSL, mobile-ready. Daily bonuses kept it lively. Android app’s spot-on. Kept my evenings buzzing with cheeky fun.

I was initially drawn in by the sportsbook, and I’ve been consistently pleased with the range of markets and competitive odds offered.
