Got all 4 beds built today, will fill the 3 empty ones in a couple weeks.
Gonna fill the full one with salad greens tomorrow.
Still so much to do, I have a lot of anxiety about the gardens this year for some reason
Should be about 30 tomato plants, 50 peppers and maybe some snow peas.
I don't know how I'll fit everything, but we'll get 'er done somehow.
All peppers will be in 3 gallon grow bags, not in the beds

Looks good... we to it the lazy way down here lol

This spring will mark my 58th garden. I was raised with a big produce stand at the road in front of the house. Those look great, fresh veggies are tops! I have a few raised beds as I live in bottom land and they are the first to dry up enough to plant. One suggestion, tie the middles together somehow. They will bow out with a fill of dirt. I have added stakes or posts but a easy way I like, is a 1/8th cable or old dog chain across the middle on the long sides. buried under the soil. Your grass is greener than mine, Those greens should take right off!

Hey that works well it looks like! Are those this springs tomatoes??

The cool thing is that those are his winter tires. So after the harvest they go back on his vechile

Thought I was the only person in the world to use old tires for tomatoes. They work great.

Ground still frozen here. No planting for at least a month.

Sweet william, how far north are you? Going to be downright warm here starting tomorrow

Here is a suggestion for your snow peas now and cukes later. Get a some 2x4” hog wire and make an arch from one bed to the other. You will need two eight foot posts buried 4 feet apart in adjacent gardens. Secure the wire at thee bottom of each post to form an arch above the aisle between the two beds. Plant your peas at the base of the arch on each side. Encourage the vining plants to run up the wire and over the top of the arc. You will use very little of your garden space and picking the peas and cukes will be easy.

Just some food for thought on using tires for your garden.

Slydogx I am about a hour north of Sault Ste Marie. Still 8 inches of snow on the garden we can't usually get started until mid may. Will be starting things inside sooner.

You will need extra support on your length wise walls or they will buckle ( frost action later) . Try some landscaping cloth on them as well.
Try to bury a drain pipe with holes in it in the center for watering, then the top of the soil does not get caked up when drying after watering.
Are you in a clay based soil or mostly organic ?

Mine are about 10" high, no wood just a trench and raised bed about 30" wide

Northof50, I was concerned with buckling as well, but I ran 3 of these last season with no issues. I filled them with a very light mix of topsoil, promix and composted manure and was pleased with the results.
These are temporary while we live at my elderly MIL's place in the burbs.
Yard soil is compacted clay fill...not good for much but grass and creeping charlie LOL

I made some 8'x4' last year from 2x12x8' Douglas Fir. Climate here is pretty dry but I wonder how long they will last considering bottom ground contact
