Very Nice, Mark.

For the scale that you are doing, it looks just perfect.
What kind(s) are you planting? I might try just a few. I am in Seattle area.

I am a new transplant here, Seattle area. And want to test plant some garlic shortly , this fall. But I think it it too early now. But now that you have done some planting , maybe it is not !

Where about the state of Oregon are you , Mark ? Anywhere around Portland ?
