I posted a pic of my wife's raised beds in the comment section of a recent post and got a bit of interest from some others…so I thought I'd post a few pics of it from the past several years.

A few bonus chicken pics, too lol.

    What wood did you use for the beds? Cedar? Looks amazing!

    I don’t know how to tell you this…but I think some of those plants might be chickens.

    Beautiful, meticulously planned and cared for. Chickens look very happy to be there!

    How many eggs do you guys even eat? We have 5 chickens and we already can’t keep up with that egg supply. Imagine having like 10.

    I really like that big outdoor vase in the middle of the garden. I might copy her!

    Simply gorgeous!! You need to post your chicken pictures on the chicken Reddit.. everything is beautiful.

    Me: oh nice, very pretty, very lush.

    [Chickens enter the pictures]

    Me: ah yes, the natural progression of a well-loved raised garden, the chickens.

    In seriousness, love it, and aspire to a similar garden one day. Convincing the partner that chickens are absolutely necessary as well will be harder!

    Nice! Too many trees to have one that size here but had a deck/patio version of those wooden containers for many years. Loved it. Kudos to your healthy garden! 🪴

    Stop. You, sir, have adorable chickens. I am therefore sending virtual pets. 🐔
    Please continue with your regularly scheduled programming.

    Neat as a pin! I aspire to such lofty heights. Mine looks like chaos! Lol

  21. WelcomeNo9868

    Any tips on the corners? Mine have separated over the years.

  22. How do you keep the grass areas/paths so neat, string trimmer?

  23. aristacat

    Did you build these beds yourself? What material do you use. Looks nice. Also was it expensive to fill?

  24. OttoVonWong

    I, too, choose this guy’s wife’s raised beds.
