Garden 2013

[gvidas]

I've got some potatoes on the windowsill to sprout, and we just picked up some seeds. Early? Maybe. But I'm always fuzzy on timeliness, and I still need to build some raised beds.

I remember once reading about a style of raised bed that was designed around the gardener's ergonomics, rather than around an arbitrary square geometry. It was sort of kidney or C-shaped, and you could sit in the middle and do all your weeding from more or less one point. I remember it being made out of brick -- which is convenient, there's a lot of free brick around here. I want to say it was from the southwest, or Latin America, and the name started with an 'A'. That last part might be totally bogus.

Does this ring any bells? The woman of the house is always easier to convince when I can show her some example of an idea of mine having been done successfully by someone else.
