Hi, Deanna. I'm doing my first raised bed vegetable garden. I have grown flowers in a bed that I built to cover a tree stump. Had great success with it.
I was making good progress with constructing my raised bed until I did something really boneheaded, which was to remove sod in a 5' x 12' area, then have wood cut to my originally planned dimensions of 5' x 7'. Doh!
