Our owner, Justin, built his own raised beds this year to create a vegetable garden for his home! We wanted to share the progression throughout the summer months as the garden is thriving. The right side of the garden has corn, lettuce, sunflowers, peas, and carrots – all grown from seed. The left side of the garden has green beans, cherry tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, cauliflower, squash, hot peppers and eggplant. The beds themselves are made from pressure-treated wood and he used a half compost/half topsoil mix. He fertilizes with organic vegetable fertilizer once per month.
We can’t wait to go over to his house for dinner this summer!
This past winter, the storm Nemo hit Rhode Island pretty hard and with it destroyed many properties. The storm created severe damage in one of our client’s back yards. The contractor who had built their house had piled all of the excess boulders they had excavated into one piece of their property. When winter storm Nemo hit, a 60 foot Oak Tree split in half and fell down, exposing all of the rocks that had been underground.
