A few weeks ago I took my friend's kid to buy what ever seeds he wants from Lowes. And to accommodate those seeds, we made a raised bed for them to be planted, and called it 'Samson's Garden'.
 
But with the little seedlings that are going in there, I wanted to add a shade cloth.
 
So I figured I would just share.
 
Hope people like pics... (may take me a few posts to get them all on there).

So, after putting the first seedling in, Samson decided it was better to watch the old guy finish up. Got a few corn, beans, and a morning glory to grow up the PVC in.
 
This project DID, however, inspire me to put in a raised bed for a single lucky lady [Carolina Reaper] from a pod donated to me from my professor who also grows ultra hots.

Nice, you'd better get Samson to do a paint job on your bed as well.

I ran outta UV zip ties
Oh, almost forgot, there are 3 foot re-bar anchoring those schedule 40 PVC pipes.
