Good morning gardeners. I do have a burn pot of sorts that came with the house. One of the legs is bent so I would have to support it on a cinder block or two to stabilize it. I'll consider that option, likely during the day when my neighbors are at work so the aromas won't be noticed. There is really no room for a bonfire @karenerwin, too many trees. Got a few snow showers this morning. Very light. I finally remembered the name of the nursery I purchased my apple tree from @Acre4Me. It's Stark Brothers in Missouri. I will likely go with 6 inch boards for the new raised bed. This bed will be a combination of direct seeded vegetables, flowers and herbs with potted plants. The plants I'm planning on are those that like slightly acidic soil and not so much sunshine. I discovered that tarragon does not do well in acidic soil so that will go into a pot. I found the Russian tarragon seeds and will plant that. It's a perennial and I have grown it in pots before. I was reading an article on the Old Farmers Almanac website regarding the benefits of snow cover in the garden. I didn't know that snow adds nitrogen to the garden soil and helps protect plants over the winter. Perhaps the garden will do much better this year since the beds have been covered with snow since November. Have a great day everyone.
