A week ago we visited this well known Southern resort. Saturday was perfect – 70 degrees, a slight breeze, with the air full of birdsong. This is the demonstration vegetable garden that served as the site of the Victory Garden South on the long running American Public Television Series.
Tomorrow I will put up the rest of the shots. In the mean time, here is a link to the official site for the gardens:

Question by LK: How build a wooden vegetable garden box?
I am planning to build my own vegetable garden box for the first time. Looking for ideas. I am planning to use a area facing north (plenty of morning sunlight). Area would be 4ft long x 2ft wide. Any suggestions?
Please give me all ideas and tips if you have built your own before (type of wood, height, dimensions, etc.) I welcome any suggestions!

What information are you looking for? Type of wood? Dimensions? Fastening technique? Soil composition?
Why do you want the box facing north? Is this a serious question?

buy some 2 by 8 or 2 by 12 lumber, redwood or cedar or any
un treated wood. cut it to the size you want and nail it together to make
a box or use wood stakes to hold it together. or you can get brackets
for making boxes from a hardware store or nursery. just cut wood for the size you want and nail it together using the brackets.
