I have ~300 seedlings started in my house and far more seeds than I’d like to admit…but until now I didn’t have garden space to actually plant them so I felt like a crazy plant hoarder (guilty as charged). But NOW we have dirt!
would not have put it all that close to the sidewalk.
the traffic alone of people walking by would give me agita about the plants.

Excited for you! I’d add some shape to the edge of the bed on the inside. I know you said it’s close to your septic area but even 1′ worth of depth on smooth curves adds interest and makes it look more natural.

Hell yeah!! Soil can be so pricey, so if you’re looking into expanding further into your yard, you can put arborist mulch (which you can get free) and/or mulched or even unmulched leaves on top of more cardboard to breakdown and kill the grass and enrich the soil. And consider cover crops to turn your yard soil into healthy planting soil. The usda has an awesome tool to suggest personalized cover crops. (I may be getting ahead of myself here, but I relate to the way too many seeds situation and that’s what I’m doing, lol!)

Isn’t it too close to the sidewalk?
I would’ve leave a 2ft gap.
