Here is another raised bed I built.

Once again, because my back is so messed up....

I have red romaine, spinach, and some onions growing.... oh, and some kale. I think most of this will be harvested in the next 4 - 6 weeks. And then it will likely be all herbs, and maybe some carrots.

Mulch will be added ASAP.

A small false bottom.

Looks good G.

How about some flowers or strawberries hanging over the side?

Probably not the berries, but the flowers would work as long as I have enough room for my herbs. :)

That was actually my first attempt, and I just made it up as I went along. I never even had a saw until last summer.
