We finished building our raised beds yesterday! We have five 10'x4', two 10'x2', and one 4'x4' untreated cedar beds all one foot high.
The 10'x2' beds will be for raspberries, blueberries and haskap berries! 🫐
The rest are 10'x4' beds are for veggies 🍅🥒🥬🥦🥕🌶🫑, and the 4'x4' bed will be our strawberry patch 🍓
Now to get the soil for the beds and mulch for the pathways delivered, and plant out all our baby seedlings!!

Congrats. You are in deep😭 I hope you have a great harvest
Love this.
I’m a newbie to gardening and always wonder what’s the purpose of garden beds? Why don’t we dig 1 ft deep in the ground and lay our own soil for produce? Tried to search online but couldn’t find much details. What am I missing?
You’re going to need a lot of soil/filler or loam jesh good luck that’s going to be epic if done right!
Are you going to put something down to keep the grass from coming up?
If you lay down chicken wire under the bed soil, you may be able to keep out burrowing critters of a certain size later, if in you future you decide to fence the beds. Beautiful set up!
Interesting! But how do you fill them with soil or compost? It will require an awful lot.
I love a front yard garden! It combats two pitfalls of suburbia: isolation (gets you out front where you can chat with neighbors, dog walkers etc), and useless lawn the no one walks or plays on.
Now the neighbors know who to attack 😂 Babylon is the vampire ✊🏿
