In reply to Gwen. Hi Gwen! You know, the soil in our backyard here was horrible! We actually had a lot of gravel brought in to help with the drainage and even though it's helped a little, I would never be able to garden and get good results like I do without my raised beds. We use a mixture of soil, compost and sometimes a little peat moss to help aerate the soil and then we till it really well. The best part about having the beds is that once they are set up, other than a little Fall and Spring preparation- you're all set. Thanks so much for stopping by and best of luck with your garden. I would love to know how it turns out! :)

Clicking over to you from Thrifty Thursday 🙂 Your post was very interesting to me, as we have recently moved house, and I am planting a vegetable garden from scratch. Our soil is A LOT wetter here in Scotland though, and it looks like we also may have to put in raised beds, as it is so boggy. I like your idea of planting marigolds and other flowers in amongst the veggies. Thank you for sharing!

In reply to Megan @ Involuntary Adulthood. Oh, thanks so much Megan! It's definitely a work in progress, but I love it. You can do a lot in even 1 raised bed though. Think up instead of out. I know adding a small little trellis here and there for things like cucumbers and even beans help me to save room. If you like zucchini, they have bush saving plants- and well you really only need one because they just produce so much! :) I'm glad you stopped by- Happy Gardening!

Hello from Thrifty Thursday! I love your garden! I rent my house, so I’m only able to have one little raised bed in the yard. I’m always dreaming of the day when I own my own house and can have a garden like yours!
