Raised Bed Vegetable Gardening
In honor of Dad’s fifth anniversary of being featured on national television, I wanted to repost one of my most viewed articles of all time. My dad is a life-long agronomist and gardener. His yard has been featured in many magazines and television programs, but he is most known for raised bed vegetable gardening.
In 2016, he was featured in a nationally syndicated program as an above ground gardening specialist. It is to this day one of my top viewed posts on JeanClaireMonroe.com!

I’ve been promising this post for a long time – Dad’s garden, featuring EarthBox® Self-Watering Gardening Systems.
Summer 2016 Expansion
Dad built all benches and trellises to his personal needs and specifications.

Summer 2015
2016 Finished Garden
Now in its 44th season, Farmweek is a weekly agricultural television show featuring Mississippi’s agricultural standouts. It should be of no surprise that Dad has been featured more than once or twice!
The following photographs are from their onsite visit to shoot Dad’s feature segment.
