Yeah I saw your message about the garden project. We had a similar situation last year with the raised beds and honestly the biggest lesson was just starting with good soil. I think if you go with the cedar planter boxes from the supply store they will hold up way better than the pine ones. Also make sure you drill enough drainage holes because we lost a couple of plants when the roots sat in water. Let me know if you want me to come over and help with the layout this weekend. I have some extra landscape fabric and a staple gun that might come in handy.

Hey thanks for the book recommendation. I finally got around to reading it over the weekend and honestly it was way better than I expected. The pacing in the second half really picked up and I ended up finishing it in two sittings. I passed it along to my sister because I think she would like the themes in it. Have you read anything else by that author? I saw there is a sequel coming out later this year and I am tempted to preorder it. Let me know what you thought of the ending because I have a theory about the main character.
