FIRST RESPONDER APPRECIATION DAY Both the Payson and Star Valley town councils have issued proclamations for a Day of Prayer and Appreciation for all First Responders, to be held Wednesday, March 23 at Scoops Ice Cream & Espresso in the Sawmill Crossing Complex.

The Rim Country Prayer Network and the Payson Christian Ministerial Fellowship are sponsoring the event.

Participate as schedules permit, the program is from 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

FASHION & FISHING Several events planned in April offer Rim Country residents and visitors entertainment options of a diverse nature — fishing and fashion.

Two take place on the same day, April 2 and the other two are a few weeks apart, one on April 9 and the other on April 23.

April 2

PAYSON LIONS ESTATE SALES The end of March and early April will feature two estate sales by the Payson Lions Club.

The contents from two large homes will be sold at two different events: the first on Thursday and Friday, March 24 and 25 and the second on Thursday and Friday, April 7 and 8.

Items will include a rolltop desk, king size and queen size beds, HD TVs, oak dining tables and chairs, china hutch, kitchen glassware and electrical appliances, garden and hand tools, refrigerator/freezer, multiple mirrors, recliners, gun cabinet, various area rugs, vacuums, a huge assortment of woodworking tools and more.

Watch for further notices of the time and place for these estate sales.

Lions service community needs for eye exams, eyeglasses, hearing assistance and other similar Rim Country charity projects through the Payson Lions Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization. The club’s portion of estate sale proceeds help fund these projects.

FLY-FISHING CLASS

The Payson Flycasters and local Trout Unlimited Chapter #530, in cooperation with the Payson Parks and Recreation Department, are holding a fly-fishing class on April 2.

The class begins at 9 a.m. at the Parks and Recreation Department offices on the southeast corner of the largest Green Valley Park lake.

The program includes classroom time and discussion from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

After a “bring your own” lunch break, the class will continue from noon to 1 p.m. with a hands-on fly casting session.

Bring your own fly rod if you have one or use one of the teaching rods, which were donated by the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD).

Gary Bedsworth is the instructor. He is certified to teach by AZGFD and as long as you are in the class, you do not need a fishing license.

To register for the class, go to the Parks and Recreation Department office before March 28, the last day to register. The fee for the class is $10.

If you have questions about the class, call the parks office at 928-474-5242 and when prompted for the department menu, hit 7.

GARDEN CLASSES This year, Payson Community Garden will only have classes on Saturdays until May 7 (no class March 26 because of Easter weekend). Each class starts at 9 a.m. at the Nazarene Church, 300 E. Tyler Parkway, Payson. As it warms up, classes move back into the Community Garden next door to the church.

Saturday, April 2, Glen McCombs, owner of Plant Fair Nursery, teaches a class on the subject of irrigation using waterwise gardening.

The cost of the plot at the Payson Community Garden includes water, soil and manure, but each year, the garden administration has to teach people to use less water — especially those who water by hand. Soaker hoses and drip systems work much better in the garden.

All classes are free and open to the public — even if the gardener has an at-home garden.

A few plots are still available for $60 (6-feet-by25-feet) and may be signed up for on the Payson Community Garden website: www.paysoncommunitygardenaz.com.

While not part of the Payson Community Garden class schedule, McCombs will also be speaking at a special program on growing vegetables and other plants from seed at the Banner High Country Seniors, 215 N. Beeline Highway from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., Wednesday, March 30. To reserve a seat at this program, please call BHCS at 928-472-9290.

LIONESS CLUB PLANS ENCHANTED APRIL

Easy St. The event is co-sponsored by Dancing Queen Dresses and features desserts donated by Elizabeth Moments of Joy. Additionally the event will include a silent auction, raffle and door prizes.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

ADVENTURE VACATIONS

Each one of us has different expectations in what we desire in a vacation.

Some of us want excitement, scenery, warm weather, good beaches, fine food and perhaps luxury accommodations.

Some folks are looking for a good camping spot in order to get away from today’s hustle and bustle.

Others desire adventure vacations.

The adventure vacation is available in many locations around the U.S., Canada and some islands not too far away, as well as in distant regions.

Close to home is the Grand Canyon. I have spoken to many people that make Arizona home who tell me they have not visited this beheKEN BROOKS moth of a canyon yet.

They tell me it’s close to home and will visit the canyon one day soon.

Well, perhaps this is the year to see one of the Seven Wonders of the World. If you are into whitewater and calm water rafting you can cruise along 277 miles of river.

Horses and helicopters can take you down to the river’s edge where you can board your raft. You can book anything from oneday rafting tours up to five-day tours. You sleep on the riverbank in sleeping bags and the guides provide food. Horse stables operate just outside the park’s south entrance.

Yosemite National Park in California is 1,200 square miles of one of America’s first national parks with top-notch hiking trails to waterfalls, giant Sequoia groves, meadows and the iconic granite cliff, Half Dome.

Three stables inside the park boundaries provide horse and mule rides that last from two hours up to a full day. There is beauty beyond belief in this park. If you wish to stay in one of the park lodges, book early.

Up at Moab, Utah you have three scenic byways, plus Canyonlands and Arches national parks close at hand. Moab inspires outdoor desert adventures. You can cycle, climb or hike among sandstone cliffs and mind-blowing rock formations. It is possible to raft the Colorado River or take a fourwheel day trip through the arid backcountry.

Back in California is Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. Here are dramatic canyons, the world’s largest trees and the presence of Mount Whitney, the tallest peak in the lower 48 states. These combine to make a dream terrain for hiking and backcountry camping. During the summer, stalactite-draped Crystal Cave is open for guided tours. In winter, sledding, skiing and snowshoeing are popular.

Olympic National Park in Washington State provides plenty of opportunity for day hikes and camping excursions.

You can take in the high rain forest, nearby mile-high Hurricane Ridge and oceanfront Rialto Beach. When the snows fall, cross-country and downhill skiing, tubing and snowshoeing cater to outdoor enthusiasts of all ages.

Hood River, Ore. was part of the Lewis and Clark exploration and they discovered this glacial stream that travelers today are

Arizona’s Grand Canyon is still on the “to do” lists of many of the state’s residents. Before the summer crowds, visit this natural wonder.

drawn to. The breezes from the Columbia River Gorge, particularly midday, make it an ideal windsurfing and kiteboarding destination and numerous local shops offer lessons for newcomers. There are numerous vacation rentals in Hood River as well as hotels. Information about this location is available on the Internet and at the hotels.

The Hawaiian Islands offer so much in the way of pleasure it’s hard to pick one or two out from the many. One outstanding attraction: the ashy plumes of smoke and red-hot lava streams coming from the active craters in the Big Island Park. It’s 30 miles southwest of Hilo. Crater Rim Drive takes cyclists through deserts and rain forests and into the caldera of Kilauea volcano.

More than 150 miles of hiking trails cover its 333,000 acres.

On Maui the Haleakala National Park offers miles and miles of hiking trails cut through the cinder desert landscape. Here is the world’s largest dormant volcano. The Maui park is even open around the clock for high-altitude stargazing. There are programs for adventurous spirits in the 7 to 10 age bracket and these can be found at visitor centers.

Back on the Big Island, located about two miles north of the airport, the Kona Coast State Park’s trio of tranquil, uncrowned beaches cater to swimming, kayaking, picnicking and snorkeling. It’s possible to spot Hawaiian green sea turtles among

the arches and caves of the offshore coral reefs. Surfers congregate in the winter for the big surf.

In Montana at Glacier National Park there are more than 700 miles of trails cut through the forests, alpine meadows and jagged peaks of this park near the Canadian border. You will find ranger-led walks, horseback rides and boat cruises exploring the park’s heritage and geology.

In winter, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing routes delve into the wild interior.

In Alaska, there is Denali National Park and Preserve. A single road accesses the 6 million acres of wild landscape in Denali National Park. The park provides vehicles that transport visitors into the wild for backpacking, wildlife viewing and attempts to climb the 20,320-foot Mount McKinley, North America’s highest peak. You can see sections of the park from a train window on the Alaska Railroad if you want comfort while you view the countryside.

In New England you can drive through and view the beauty of Acadia National Park in Maine. This was the first national park east of the Mississippi River. Outdoor activities include climbing pink granite cliffs, horseback riding or cycling on 25 miles of rustic carriage roads, and both fresh- and salt-water fishing. The park’s 125 miles of hiking trails traverse rugged coastline, forests and mountains.

Further away you can find adventure

by booking an Antarctic cruise during our winter months. The seasons are reversed down there. Several cruise ships do this each year. You would fly into the city farthest south on the South America continent, Ushuaia, and board your ship either there or in Buenos Aires. The sea may be rough between the bottom of South America and the Antarctic continent — I’m talking 30- to 50-foot waves. If you can stand this, you are ready for the ice continent. From the ship you board rubber landing boats and are taken ashore where you can connect with the millions of penguins. You will smell the mess the birds have created from a halfmile out to sea. It’s not nice. But, there is the thrill of being on the frozen continent of Antarctica. Not many Americans have been there which makes you a real explorer.

Another explorer vacation is camera hunting wild game in East Africa. You would first fly into Kenya, landing at Nairobi. Take a couple days to acquaint your body with the climate and high altitude. You will have already booked a land tour through Kenya and Tanzania, which most likely will depart from Nairobi. You will view more wild animals than you will have ever hoped to see.

Thousands are out there waiting for your lens and camera. It’s one of life’s great thrills to camera hunt in East Africa. You’ll never forget the experience!

I hope we have given you a few good ideas for your next adventure vacation.

IN THE KITCHEN | TERESA MCQUERREY

Handling the leftover ham from Easter You made this beautiful Easter dinner with ham as the centerpiece. And you probably bought a ham that was about twice the size your family could eat. Now, what to do with the leftovers?

The last edition of The Rim Review (March 16) I wrote about one of my old cookbooks and shared a recipe from it for Corned Beef and Cabbage for St. Patrick’s Day. Now, it’s Holy Week — Easter is this Sunday. Hard to believe, but true. And a ham dinner is probably planned in a great many Rim Country households; so consequently, many of us will have leftover ham.

While I was going through that old cookbook to find St. Patrick’s Day recipes I came across a “sub” chapter, “Using the Last of a Baked Ham” and made a mental note to revisit it for this pre-Easter edition of the Review. Not all of the following came from that “sub” chapter, but they still fit the “theme” of handling the leftover ham.

HAM SALAD SUPPER

Makes 4 servings.

1/2 pound diced, cooked ham (about 2 cups) 1 cup diced celery 2 shelled, hard-cooked eggs, diced (bet you might have a couple of those laying around after Easter) 1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing 1-1/2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish 1-1/2 teaspoons chili sauce Salad greens of your choice Combine ham, celery and eggs. Combine mayo, relish and chili sauce and add to ham mixture. Chill until ready to serve on salad greens.

CALAWAIKI HAM

They have to be making up some of these words. Makes 6 servings.

2, 1-inch ham slices (about 3 pounds) 2 teaspoons prepared mustard 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 2 cups drained, unsweetened cooked dried apricots 1/2 cup sugar 2 cups unsweetened apricot juice 1 cup canned crushed pineapple Simmer ham, covered, for 20 minutes in water to cover. Drain, and place in greased or oiled baking pan (i.e. casserole). Spread top and sides with mustard and sprinkle with brown sugar. Mash apricots to a pulp and add sugar, apricot juice and pineapple, then mix thoroughly. Pour mixture over ham slices and bake at 400 degrees for 1-1/2 hours or until tender. (Since the recipe does not say cooked ham, I suspect it is calling for unbaked ham, so if you are using leftover baked ham, then the cooking time is probably quite a bit less than 90 minutes.)

BAKED HAM, MACARONI AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE Makes 6 servings.

1/2 an 8- to 9-ounce package macaroni 2 cups cooked ham, cut into small pieces 1, 10.5-ounce can condensed cream of

A big ham dinner for Easter can result in a lot of leftovers. Uneaten baked ham can be used in a number of different recipes, as can the hard-boiled eggs from an old-fashioned Easter egg hunt. mushroom soup 3/4 cup water 1 tablespoon minced onion 3/4 cup grated processed American cheese Cook and drain macaroni (boil for 5 to 20 minutes in 3 quarts of water with 1 tablespoon salt). Combine with ham, soup, water and onion. Arrange in a greased 1-1/2 quart casserole. Sprinkle top with cheese and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

HAM AND STRING BEAN SAVORY

Makes 4 generous servings.

Hot Corn Bread (recipe to follow) 1/2 pound processed American cheese 2/3 cup milk or 1/3 cup evaporated milk and 1/3 cup water 1-1/2 cups thinly sliced cooked ham 1-1/2 cups cooked or canned string beans 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Make and bake corn bread. Meanwhile melt cheese in top of double boiler (no microwaves back in 1942). Add milk and stir until smooth and well blended. Add ham, string beans and Worcestershire sauce and heat thoroughly. Serve over squares of hot corn bread.

CORN BREAD

1-1/2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons sifted all-purpose flour 3/4 cup yellow or white corn meal 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons sugar 1 egg, well beaten 1 cup milk or 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup melted shortening Sift together flour, corn meal, baking powder, salt and sugar. Combine egg, milk and shortening. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients all at once, stirring quickly and vigorously until mixture is just mixed and has lumpy appearance. Pour into greased 8-inch-by-8-inch-by-2-inch pan and bake at 425 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until done.

SCALLOPED HAM AND POTATOES

Makes 6 servings.

5 cups thinly sliced pared potatoes 3 cups cooked ham strips (should be about 1-1/2-inches-by-1/2-inch) 1 cup thinly sliced peeled onion 3 cups Thin White Sauce (recipe to follow) Arrange the potatoes, ham and onion in alternative layers in a two-quart covered casserole. Pour white sauce over all and bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Remove cover and bake 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

THIN WHITE SAUCE

Makes 1 cup.

1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon flour Speck pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk or 1/2 cup evaporated milk and

1/2 cup water Melt the butter in a double boiler; stir in flour, pepper and salt, then stir until thoroughly blended and smooth. Add milk gradually, stirring continuously and cooking over boiling water until smooth and thick.

CREAMED HAM AND MUSHROOMS

Makes 8 servings.

3/4 pound fresh mushrooms 6 tablespoons butter or margarine 8 tablespoons flour 3 cups milk or 1-1/2 cups evaporated milk and 1-1/2 cups water 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 2-1/2 cups diced cooked ham 1/2 teaspoon thick (bottled) meat sauce Wash, dry, slice and then sauté mushrooms until tender in the butter in the top of a double boiler, over direct heat. Stir in the flour, then the milk, salt and pepper and heat over boiling water (in double boiler) until smooth and thickened. Add ham and meat sauce. Serve over corn bread, biscuits, toast or mashed potatoes.

Now about all those hard-boiled eggs from old-fashioned egg hunts in the yard.

We can only eat so many of them plain, mashed up in egg salad or turned into deviled eggs.

My old cookbook had a few recipes to try with them.

CREAMED EGGS

3 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 tablespoon minced onion 3 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk or 1 cup evaporated milk and 1 cup water 1/2 teaspoon salt pepper to taste 1 tablespoon minced parsley 6 shelled hard-cooked eggs 6 slices buttered toast Melt the butter in the top of a double boiler over direct heat. Add onion and simmer until tender. Stir in the milk, then the salt, pepper and parsley.

Cook over boiling water, while stirring until smooth and thickened.

Chop up the eggs and add to mixture.

Heat and serve on toast.

The annual Eggstravaganza presented by the Town of Payson and Resurrection Celebration hosted by the Payson Christian Ministerial Fellowship both take place at Rumsey Park, Saturday, March 26. The egg hunt is in North Rumsey and the Resurrection Celebration is at Rumsey’s big ramada.

Community Easter events Rim Country residents and visitors have a trio of community Easter celebrations to enjoy this week.

The holiday events start Friday, March 25 and conclude with two community events on Saturday, March 26.

March 25 The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square will present George Frideric Handel’s masterpiece, “Messiah” through a live streaming of the performance at 7 p.m., Friday, March 25 at Messinger Payson Funeral Home, 901 S. Westerly Road.

The event is complimentary, but donations for the Payson area food bank are welcome. Seating is limited.

For those unable to attend the concert on March 25, but wish to hear the performance, it will be rebroadcast at 7 p.m., Sunday, March 27 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Chapel, 913 S. Ponderosa St., Payson.

If you prefer to watch at home, the on-demand video will be available at 11:59 p.m., Friday, March 25 to 11:59 p.m., Monday, April 4. The video can be found on: mormontabernaclechoir.org/messiah; YouTube. com/MormonTabChoir During and after viewing the Messiah performance, you may interact with

other Messiah participants around the world via social media, using the hashtag #MessiahLive.

Four New York Metropolitan Opera soloists with extensive musical backgrounds will join the 360-member Mormon Tabernacle Choir and 85-member Orchestra at Temple Square. Performing the soprano solo will be Erin Morley; Sasha Cooke will sing the mezzo-soprano role; Paul Appleby is the tenor soloist; and Joseph Barron is the featured bass-baritone.

Choir conductor Mack Wilberg has painstakingly created an awe-inspiring version of the “Messiah” that honors the extraordinary history of this brilliant masterpiece as only the choir and the orchestra can.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Karmann and Kompany is an award-winning band led by singer/songwriter Karmann Powell. Members include Joe Brokaw, 5-string bass; and Joe Stolpa on electric and acoustic lead guitar. Their sound is clean and clear, featuring power-

ful vocals and a warm, personable stage presence. Drummer/percussionist Darrell Stackhouse plays with the group on special occasions.

Song selections range from folk, country, gospel, bluegrass, contemporary, blues and originals — or whatever strikes the band’s fancy.

Based in central Arizona, Karmann Powell has performed solo throughout the state for many years. In the past, the composition of Karmann and Kompany has been fluid. John “Whiteboy” Walden, harmonica player extraordinaire, is a Karmann and Kompany member at large.

A world traveler, he always has a place in the band when he makes it back to the states. Drummer, Jeff Wright, has played with the band on several occasions. Don Hootman played lead guitar for about a year and a half. Former member Mike Weatherford, on lead guitar also appears in some of the band’s videos.

Another member of the band is soundman Stan Powell, Karmann’s husband of more than 30 years. He makes sure the band has what it needs, gets to where it is going on time and makes sure they sound great and actually is the one who keeps things running smoothly.

It is a gospel band made up of five veteran musicians playing guitar, dobro, banjo and upright bass, whose single purpose is to praise and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ in music.

Its music is a combination of country, bluegrass and southern gospel. John and Peggy Craig founded Brush Arbor Revival in 2007.

The band has traveled the Western United States performing gospel music, playing in churches, county fairs, bluegrass festivals, RV parks, retirement homes, private parties, etc.

Performances have included everything from providing special music in church worship services to being responsible for an entire Easter service and everything in-between.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The week promises a calmer aspect. Although there might be some lingering effects of a recent job problem, things should continue to ease up. Also expect a change in a home-based situation.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If you feel uneasy about a colleague’s suggestion, it might be that your wise inner Taurean guide is alerting you to a potential problem. Stepping away could turn out to be the right thing to do.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A family get-together opens up new opportunities for renewing ties. It can be especially effective in dealing with disagreements that should have been, but never were, fully resolved.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might be surprised at the response you get to a recent decision. You might be even more surprised by the reasons behind it. In any event, you’ll learn something important.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your aspects favor resolving any tensions left over from a recent incident. You might want to consider having a “clear the air” talk as soon as you can. A call can lead to a change of plans.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid repeating yourself.

If your first few efforts fail to connect, maybe it’s because you haven’t found the right way to get your message across. Try changing your approach.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good intentions plus a strong resolve to succeed can take you where you want to go.

Don’t give up just because someone suggests you might be pursuing an impossible cause.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unexpected setback can be a blessing in disguise. Use it to recheck your facts and how you’ve presented them. Meanwhile, look for ways to expand your contacts.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You should finally be seeing a positive change in a recent personal situation.

However, an on-the-job matter might need more attention than you realized. Stay with it.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While you should be close to completing an important matter, you still need to focus on being focused. But things ease up in time for weekend fun with family and friends.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A certain matter might take an unexpected turn. Don’t simply accept it; ask for an explanation. What you learn might be helpful in shifting the situation around to your benefit.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Projecting a positive attitude helps restore calm even when you’re confronting some pretty stormy situations. Stay the course. The outcome will be well worth your efforts.

RIM GARDENING GUIDE

Create a garden anywhere with straw bales

BY MELINDA MYERS GARDENING EXPERT

Add productive garden space and raise your planting bed with straw bale gardening. This technique allows gardeners to create raised bed gardens on a patio, lawn or any area with poor compacted soil.

Straw bale gardening has been around for centuries, but thanks to Joel Karsten’s book “Straw Bale Gardens” it has gained new popularity.

All that is needed are a few straw bales, fertilizer, a bit of compost and time to condition, plant and water the garden.

Be sure to purchase straw bales made from alfalfa, wheat, oats, rye or other cereal grain that have less weed seeds than hay. Start a few weeks before the designated planting date.

Place the bales in their permanent location with the cut sides up and twine parallel to the ground. Once you start the condition process, the bales will be very heavy and hard to move. When the bales are in place you are ready to start the conditioning process. This is done to start the inside of the straw bales composting, so they’ll support plant growth.

On day one, spread fertilizer over the top of the bale. Use a 1/2 cup of a complete garden fertilizer or three cups of an organic fertilizer like Milorganite (milorganite. com). Then completely moisten the bale.

The organic fertilizers feed the microorganisms that help decompose the straw into a nutrient rich planting medium.

Thoroughly soak the bale every day.

On days three and five you will add more fertilizer at the same rate used on day one.

Days seven through nine use half the rate used on day one. This would be 1/4 cup of a complete garden fertilizer or 1-1/2 cups of an organic fertilizer. Thoroughly water the bale each time.

On day 10 you will add one cup of 10-1010 or three cups of an organic fertilizer rich in phosphorous and potassium. This completes the conditioning process.

Bales treated with a complete fertilizer should be ready to plant. You may need to wait a few more days when using an organic fertilizer. The inside of the bale should be the temperature of warm bath water or cooler for planting. If it is hotter than this, wait for the bale to cool a bit before you plant.

Use a trowel to pry open a hole in the bale. Place the plant in the hole and cover the roots with potting mix or compost.

Create a planting bed for seeds by covering the bale with a one- to two-inch thick layer of planting mix. Follow the planting directions on the back of the seed packet.

Regular watering is critical for success with this method. Soaker hoses or drip irrigation make this an easier task. You can also use gallon milk jugs with holes in the bottom or inverted two-liter soda bottles placed near the base of each plant to provide water where it is needed.

Give your straw bale garden a nutrient boost about once a month or as needed throughout the growing season.

Follow these steps and you’ll be well on your way to growing a productive straw bale garden to enjoy throughout the season.

Create a planting bed for seeds by covering the straw bale with a one- to two-inch layer of planting mix (photo above). Raised bed planting is also an alternative to traditional gardening — add a bench and make the work more creative and less strenuous.

EASE INTO GARDENING WITH A RAISED BED

Raise your garden to new heights for easier access and greater productivity.

Raised beds allow you to overcome poor soil by creating the ideal growing mix, plus make gardening time more comfortable thanks to less bending and kneeling.

Whether you purchase a kit or build your own, there are a few things to consider when creating a raised bed garden.

Locate the garden in a sunny area if possible. Most plants require at least six hours of sun, and vegetables like tomatoes, peppers and melons produce best with a full day of sunlight.

Select a long-lasting material such as interlocking block, fieldstone, plastic lumber or naturally long lasting wood like cedar. The material selected will influence the shape and size of your garden. Some materials allow for curved beds while others are limited to squares, rectangles and other angular shapes.

Design your raised bed to fit your space and your needs. A three- or four-feet width makes it easy to reach all parts of the garden for planting, weeding and harvesting.

Raising your planting bed at least 8 to 12 inches improves drainage and provides an adequate space for most plants to root and grow. If you want to minimize bending, go higher.

Add benches to increase your gardening comfort and ease. Bonnie Plants has free downloadable plans (bonnieplants.com/ library) for building a raised bed garden with benches in just one afternoon.

Roughen or loosen the existing soil surface if your bed is built on compact, slow-draining soil. This will allow water to readily move from the raised bed into the soil below. Cover the bottom of the bed with newspaper or cardboard, if needed, to suffocate existing weeds and grass.

Line the bottom of your raised bed with hardware cloth to reduce the risk of animals burrowing into your garden. Lay the hardware cloth over the ground and bend it

up along the inside of the raised bed walls.

Fill the bed with a quality growing mix that is well drained but also able to retain moisture and nutrients. This may be a mixture of quality topsoil and compost, a high quality potting mix, or a planting mix designed specifically for raised bed gardens.

Grow any plants that you normally would grow in ground. Just make sure the plants are suited to the growing conditions (such as sunlight, heat and wind) in your area. Since the soil mix and drainage is ideal in a raised garden, you will be able to grow more plants per square foot. Just be sure to leave sufficient room for plants to reach their mature size.

Keep your plants healthy and productive with proper watering. This is critical for growing any garden, but even more crucial in a fast-draining raised bed. The simple act of raising the garden height increases drainage, and a raised bed filled with planting mix means more frequent watering.

Consider using drip irrigation or soaker hoses for watering ease. Always water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry.

Add some mulch to help reduce watering and the need for other garden maintenance. Spread a layer of evergreen needles,

pine straw, shredded leaves or other organic matter over the soil surface. This helps conserve moisture, suppresses weeds and adds nutrients to the soil as it decomposes.

You’ll spend less time watering and weeding throughout the season.

Add an organic fertilizer at planting if your planting mix does not already contain one. Apply again mid-season if the plants need a nutrient boost. Always follow the label directions on the fertilizer container.

The time and effort invested in creating raised beds will be returned many times over with years of healthy and productive gardens.
