So after a month or so of waiting the seeds finally arrived. I couldn't stand waiting around to get them started in the ground so got busy making grids in the square foot garden type of setup. This made mapping out where everything is nice and simple, Elizabeth did most of the work of making the map, filling it in and transferring it to excel.
The grids came out nicely. They are held together with brad nails and not permanently attached to the raised beds. At the places edges of the raised beds are little blocks of wood on either side of the grid pieces that hold them in place.
Notice on this side of the raised beds the ground is still flat. That didn't last long.

Partially turned up, with the sandy loam mixed in.
And here it is turned up and ready for planting. Some of the seeds hadn't arrived yet at this point for the mounds, but the corn is planted in the rows on the left. The mounds are a bit higher than I should have made them I think, but we'll see how stuff grows before I discount them entirely.
