Square Foot Garden Setup - Part 3

Supplies
Bag of peat mixture (Meijer ~ 3@$4.99)
Bag of potting soil (Meijer ~ 1@$5.49)
Can of green twine (Meijer ~ 1@$4.99)

I added the extra three bags of peat to my box. It's still a little low but I'm done adding stuff.

Using the screws that I bought for the corner brackets, I put one screw per foot to tie my twine to.
Next I tied my green twine between the screws just using single knots.
And the final product:

I haven't planted anything in there yet, but I planted my herbs in their pots. Green is cilantro, purple is basil and blue is oregano. I planned on them hanging out on the porch but all three want max sun so maybe I'll set them out near the garden in the morning. They all take a long time for germination. I'll be patiently waiting...
