3-Tier Raised Garden Bed: My Mom's Garden – How My Dad Plans To Re-Transform It, Again!! P2 By Aiman

For garden lovers, this video series is for you. This is Part 2 of How My Dad Plans To Re-Transform My Mom’s Aging Garden. In this part, the entire front section of Aiman Mom’s garden was replaced with raised 3-tier garden boxes made of woods. Even though the strawberry season is ending, Aiman’s dad re-planted the strawberry in the bed for next year’s harvest. The runners will have to be trimmed throughout summer however. In between these strawberry plants, his dad planted several annuals – Red Scarlet Sage Salvia, Begonia & Petunia flowers.

Hopefully this video will provide inspiration or ideas for those who love gardening. We too oftentimes scoured youtube and internet for landscpaing ideas and projects for our backyard flower & vegetable garden.

In Part 3, Aiman and his dad will be building boxes for the left side of the garden so stay tuned….

From Part 1 (And if you haven’t watch it, click here: https://youtu.be/8oe2fMLjDZM)

If you’ve been watching our videos you’ve probably come across a video entitled, “Backyard Organic Gardening Ideas – How My Dad Transformed My Mom’s Garden” (https://youtu.be/3-ZGAqs5IPg). It has been several years since that initial transformation, and some sections of my mom’s garden have either fall apart, require face-lifting or simply needing fresh new ideas to make it look better and prettier.

In particular, the front portion of my mom’s fenced in vegetable garden where we normally plant strawberries in the Spring and flowers in the summer, the black plastic / rubber edging kept falling apart every year, most likely due to frost heaving during the winter. It’s an easy fix, but Aiman’s Dad would like to try a fresh new idea – a three-tier raised garden bed. He envisioned that the raised and tiered beds would be perfect for growing the June-bearing strawberries in the spring and planting mix of colorful annual flowers in the summer. The drawback to this project is that we would have to redo and modify the pvc piping for the drip irrigation system in the front.

Because of time constraint, we will not be able to show you how each of the three-tier modular garden box is constructed, but once the boxes are completed and planted with, we will do another video to show the results.

The pink climbing roses on the right side corner of Aiman mom’s fenced in garden continue to bloom nicely, unfortunately the white colored climbing roses on the left side corner died presumably due to the prolonged cold and snow on the ground this past winter. So we probably have the red colored climbing roses from the rear corner to the front.

In this video, Aiman also provides an updated look at his mom’s double-pink knockout roses garden bed. This flower bed which was build last month was constructed using landscape bricks alongside his garage. The pink roses have bloomed and they looked stunning. Aiman and his dad are still debating whether or not they should remove the temporary fenced put in place to protect the bed from their pet cats which like to poop near plants, especially if they’re mulched.

The left over patio blocks they didn’t use as edging for the bed found a new home. They decided to use the bricks as edging around their green Dwarf (Dissectum) Laceleaf Japanese Maple, which was bottom trimmed to allow for planting of flowers and yellow roses underneath, near the base of the tree. Behind this 10-year old dwarf green laceleaf, they planted a regular (palmatum) Bloodgood Japanese Maple. They’re not sure how this combination would work especially because there’s not enough sunlight for the yellow roses, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Like all great endeavors, gardening is both a science and an art. There’s always something new that can be done, either to make it look good or more practical. Some of the ideas we found on the internet and youtube, while a few ideas are our own.

It’s your garden, plant and decorate it as you will…
