That's awsome. I wish I know where you were located. I have a decent size yard in south Carolina want to finally get my garden going but I am so indecisive on where to place it. Gets too hot in the ☀️ summer months
Awesome 👌 ❤

Those look great Kim 🌱🙌❤️
I like those! I rarely ever return anything, but most the time I find a way to use it or give it away. lol It’s in my plans to try the raised bed from SmartPots now. I can put together planter kits, usually Amazon but I pray a lot first so I don’t do it backwards 😆Your new garden station is coming together! 🎉❤
That was fast & awesome 👌
Good kim im talking about making the first raised bed that you made🎉
Nice idea Kim!
That looks beautiful!
That’s a neat bed., I had bought arch trelliss , for use over a few raised beds, ended up have a cardinal climbing vine take it over.
Finally wonderful idea! how many plants would you put in each bed? Will there be more sizes in future? Like 6×3?😎
I need the Smart Pot Raised beds! 😊
If tools are involved, it’s kinda construction…
Nice idea! But I guess our idea of affordable is very different 😅
I love this because sometimes you don't have the time or energy to build something. I've been trying to come up with inexpensive ways to trellis my garden this year with using my 20 gallon grow bags. So I am right there with you on innovation 😊. Thanks for sharing.
What an easy and quick way to get a new garden area started. Hmmmm….where could I put up something like that?
