My four raised beds
« on: June 13, 2016, 15:51:05 »
This is what my raised beds look like today. I only grow my favourite foods these days - tomatoes, sweet corn, courgettes and squashes in the beds, raspberries against the wall and beans, strawberries, more tomatoes, salad greens and pak choi in pots. I'm also trying kale in a large pot this year too. In my small lean-to greenhouse I have tomatoes, cucumbers, a red pepper and an aubergine - also growing in pots.

Looks good;but you seem to have a lot wasted space covered by weed fabric.  you could get more out of bed if under planted with lettuce or other shallow rooted crop.

The squashes and courgettes are still young plants - I'll post again in a couple of months when there won't be an inch of membrane to see!

Everything looks wonderfully healthy, really inspiring for me as I am mostly growing in raised beds this year & have decided to do virtually all of my growing this way next year
