The bed soil consist of , pro-mix, peat moss, commercial compost manure,
Waiting on my homemade compost that will be added in the spring.
I have several raised beds. 2 blocks high or higher.
Several beds are just ending and have flowers in them.
All the beds are made of Concrete Cinder Blocks. They are Not mortared together.
They are just stacked on top of each other. (on level ground)
these are the beds that I have so far.

an old pic from this past year is the Blue Easy Wave Petunia bed at the entrance of my drive way.
I want to grow Pink Easy Wave next year. There are only 3 individual plants growing in this raised
bed. More like a giant planter. It is 4 blocks high.

My retreat September 24, 2010
I relocated many of my raised beds to my backdoor. The closer they are the better.
I can see everything from my kitchen window--which reminds me to --water--fertilize-harvest-maintain.
Growing in the beds outside my back door are---Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Turnip Greens, Lettuce, Carrots, Radishes, Beets, Strawberries, onions, chives, etc.........
Turnip Green Bed. 4x9ft. The plant spacing is 9 plants per square foot.

The same turnip green bed 3 weeks later. I think 9 plants per square foot is a little too close.
What do you think?
