Progress on Weathered Cedar Planter Box. 3.9.22

Here is the planter box so far. It's turning out pretty much exactly what I envisioned.
There is still a lot more to be done. I can see what it will be like now, which is nice. This location was sort of wasted, growing things at ground level here was challenging because of the cramped space. Being much higher will make it easier. I still need to do the remaining three sides. I may stain this planter box in the summer when it's dry. Something that looks like cedar or redwood and not too expensive. The reason is to preserve the wood longer. Or I may leave it as weathered cedar, which is a lot of things around here. The frame is pressure treated. None of that will come into contact with plants. Not on title- I planted seeds today, the sunroom got too hot (86F) but I think it's all OK. When that happens,he seed mat gets up to almost 100. I'm not going to use the sunroom for seed germination after this. A hard freeze is expected tonight. I covered the snow peas and snap peas but not anything else. I cut down two 50-foot cascara trees. They were leaning more and more. When that happens, fhey usually fall over. I thought it would be safer to take them out now. I will cut logs later. i set aside two logs to use for growing mushrooms. More on that tomorrow.rm
