I am always in trouble, when i should present a birthday gift. To buy a helpless thing is the worst thing ever, because everybody has socks, ties, cups, etc… and these are boring and ordinary gifts.
I was very happy, when my girlfriend sad in February, she would like a raised beg garden. Her birthday is in April. So there was the idea, i should just build it.
I have a a friend, who is a carpenter, working with woods.
So i asked him to buy me some stuff for this garden. The cost of the wood was really cheap, it was only 7 000 HUF, (approximately $35).
He did bring it to me and i did start to work.
First, a dig a 1.5 x 2 meters hole. It should be deeper, but we rent this house, so we had no option to dig this hole anywhere in the garden.
This was the only place (see pictures), where i can dig it, and there is concrete, so i can not dig deeper.
Meanwhile, my girlfriend used some impegrated paint to protect the boards to rain.
After that i did start to build the frame. This isn’t a big job, you should just join the boards, and fix theme with screws.
When we placed the complete frame into the perfect place, we collected some twigs and leafs. This is important, because when it start to rotten, it gives a lot of power to the flowers, herbs, etc… We placed back on the digged dirt onto the twigs.
My girlfriend has a friend, who has a farm, so she asked him to give us some muck. He gave us 2 years old rotted manure (or muck) of horses, so we placed that on top of the soil.
When we finished with the garden, she planted some rucola, and spinach, and we will plant some potato, and strong pepper. Now we are waiting the results of the process :)
And i can tell that, the rucola is starting to grow, so it springs up from the soil!
It was only 5 days, and it started to grow, isn’t it wonderful?
So, this was my birthday present to my girlfriend, and she sad, she did never get a birthday gift like this.
You can see the pictures of the building method in this photo gallery.
I took these photos with my phone, so the quality is not the best.

Hi Vaso!
Im gonna write this here ´cause in ‘Banner Garden’ Post Comment doesn´t work.
‘Banner Garden’ works perfect for me. Nice job dude!
Let me tell you sometihng. The only thing i miss for this plugin is the posibility of linking to URL when upload a Flash Banner.
Another thing is when i design my Flash Banners to link with any webpage, Firefox 3.6.3 blocks those links. It isn´t happen with other plugins. I´not a programer, so what can i do to avoid this?
Thanks a lot for sharing!
you should insert your link directly into your flash. this is why i am not attached the link field for flash.
