As natural wood species go, redwood is in a class of its own.

A sustainable alternative to tropical hardwoods, redwood is grown and harvested to the highest environmental standards in the world.

Name for the dark red hardwood at the center of the tree,

redwood imparts natural beauty, warmth, and durability to interior and exterior building applications, including decking,

fencing, panelling, siding, exposed beams and timbers, pergolas and other shade structures.

It's mid-May in Wisconsin, so it's finally spring and working on putting in the garden,

did some direct seed planting, cleaned up our strawberry and raspberry beds, and just been putting

in the work, and then a handful of nice spring days we'll have before it's 90 degrees out.

So how many acres are you planning?

It's an impressive garden.

The garden's about three quarters of an acre.
