April 25, 2014 update

I finished up the form for the garden on Monday, and proceeded to waterproof it with plastic on Wednesday. All in all it took me about 4 hours to get that finished up. I have planted the milkweed seeds that I have earlier this week into a couple of seed starters. I will move them once I get the soil from the greenhouse into the form. I will try to do that next week, as I am very busy this weekend.

Update 4-9-14

  This week I was lucky enough to find the perfect pieces of wood for the construction of the garden where I work. So, I have those measured and cut, which took me about 4 hours all together because I have been working with a hand saw. I also managed to get seeds for Bloodflower Milkweed, an absolutely essential component of the monarch butterfly garden because Milkweeds are the only plants that Monarchs will lay their eggs on.
  Now I need to get some glue and paint so that I can finish construction. Next, I need to get the nectar plants that I will need. I plan on having that done pretty quickly.
