Spring is here. Gardening is nigh. Last week I fluffed up the dirt in our raised bed and planted some brassicas and herbs and lettuces and radishes and...hmm, I think that's it for now. I even tested the soil and amended it a little with some fancy compost. This will hopefully be an abundant growing season.

You can build your own low-cost version of the raised bed pictured above by following this step-by-step tutorial I did for Paste Magazine. It uses reclaimed materials and is a lot cheaper and sturdier than a similar raised bed kit I saw at the hardware store this weekend.

Also! I have two pressure cooking classes coming up in May and June at The Seasoned Farmhouse. Click here to learn more.
