In the pots are peas. The close raised bed is flowers and strawberry plant.
All the rest are a collection of lettuces, parsnips, carrots, radishes, herb, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers.
I’ve prepared for every square inch to be utilized, see if it backfires or bites me in the ass. But that’s now we lean.
A question.
Why raised beds instead of tilling and planting?
I'm just interested. I've asked this question to other people, and usually it is that the ground is terrible and hard to grow in.
I don't care. If I see people gardening I'm happy.
Partly that, partly ergonomics, and one reason that no longer applies….
Here we have very clay heavy soil, so it’s easier to go up, and the more viable soil the more densely you can pack your garden beds. With raised beds you can avoid planting row style for more dense plantations since you aren’t walking between the plants compressing the soil.
Raised beds warm up earlier I’ve heard, haven’t tested that one yet, but supposedly you can plant earlier with them too.
Ergonomics should be self explanatory, less bending.
And I sadly had to put my blind dog away last week, so the taller beds were so she couldn’t waltz through them.
