You might remember that we built the beds with railroad ties as borders (railroad ties that Brad had gone to a fair bit of trouble to get). Later, I heard from a couple people that railroad ties are treated with nasty chemicals. I tried to think they were overreacting. Then I heard a show on &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youbetyourgarden.com\/\">You Bet Your Garden<\/a>&#8221; &#8212; not a particularly radical show &#8212; in which the host said he would never, ever use railroad ties for anything. He went on and on.<\/p>\n<p>OK, so maybe we&#8217;d need to get rid of them.<\/p>\n<p>I dreaded telling Brad, but predictably he said it was no big deal. So we got some redwood planks, and today put them in, along with a little sitting bench since we sometimes have lunch in the greenhouse.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kbtechworks.com\/kbranch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_6538.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1616\" title=\"IMG_6538\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kbtechworks.com\/kbranch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_6538-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6538\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kbtechworks.com\/kbranch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_6538-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kbtechworks.com\/kbranch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_6538-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kbtechworks.com\/kbranch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_6538.JPG 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m already starting to think about what we&#8217;ll plant for spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite two snowfalls, weeks of below-freezing nighttime temperatures, and no irrigation for over a month, our garden has been thriving.
