Garden Repair at the In-Laws' House

Wanted to finally post some more travel garden pics from our trip up north.  I built this garden 3 years ago at the in-laws house and it had fallen into problems.  I had originally used wooden stakes to keep the landscape timbers in place but those rotted and shifted the beds.  I used the same method of using plastic/metal tomato stakes and drilling holes at the corners that I did in my garden.  I also angled the green bean trellis differently in hopes that it would support the weight better.  Still has work to be done but it is better.





Before.  See how the front beds are starting to slope down.

Stakes were not my brightest idea.

Disassemble and level first while mounding the soil in the middle.




I work while my girl plays.  Lucky girl!
Beds are fixed. Now time for green bean trellis.

When I built these I did it with all right angles.   However, they liked to topple.





Now they have more angle on the sides.
