Well, let’s try this out. I made this raised bed cedar garden right at the outset of Covid and have been kind of not known what to do next. Let me know if this plan and video is of value to anyone.

Love it! I have a fruit/veg garden and built a mini kitchen island, kitchen cabinets and flipped a hard wood chest drawer last year (after a flood destroyed most furnitures). I have been struggling with the garden bench - but that’s because it was cheaper to get meranti where I’m from but I did not realise how much force was needed lol. Your videos has a nice mix of DIYs and fixes!

What do you grow?

Fruits avacado, citrus, star fruit, Ciku (tropical), veg right now lots of Brazilian spinach lol. And stuff for cooking pandan, lemon grass, curry leaves. Had batches of tomatoes, chillies, onions, potatoes, egg plants, lots of herbs, bunch of others but hectic workload hard to keep up. Do you have your own garden ?

😍 Yes I do veggie gardening and some trees. My climate is harsher than tropical though. During the winter my peas and onions handled the frost well. My sage doesn't care if it is freezing or super hot! Red mulberries are going berzerk, I could propagate them just by pruning and sticking the branches in the soil!

Is it hard managing a garden through diff seasons? it’s rain and sun here all year long

You are lucky! Yes a bit hard but if you find correct varieties you could still produce

🙏. Everyone always asks me if the squirrels get in, and they actually don’t. And it’s funny my mother in law is the gardener, I just made it!

What are you making next?

I did an “office split” with my wife where we split our office into 2 to WFH and did a full remodel of my bathroom… digging through the videos and pictures and will post soon! 🤙

That sounds like it would definitely help with WFH. A lack of a proper set up is what makes me somewhat unproductive when I’m working from home.

Well that and Nostr.

Lack of a proper set up is what makes it hard to work in the office now, my home office set up is 👌*kiss
