These are my raised beds

UPDATE, June 16, 2011
My experiment with raised beds was so much fun and successful last year that I had to amend and expand.

In 2010 I propped up old pieces of wood and tilled and filled 5 raised beds at ground level. Also, last winter I cleaned the horse stalls and covered all beds with stall waste, up through April. Right now I have the 5 beds from last year:
--3 x 6 salad bed

Amendments:
I dug 1 spades-worth deeper, replaced the soil, and planted with lettuce, radishes and kohrabi, then surrounded with onion sets, which were offset planted.

OLD GARDEN

I had FOREST of okra in this bed in 2010.
--3 x 12 Northmost bed
Amendments:
I tilled the stall waste, then used my spade to dig about a spade's worth deeper, then mixed the two. I planted with okra, brussel sprouts and spinach.
Order S to N: Okra, brussel sprouts, okra, spinach, okra. I threw in marigold seeds to help fill. I planted two Jalepeno peppers, one at each end.

--1 1/2 x 12 north to south along-the-fence bed

Here is the same bed in 2010.
Amendments:
I tilled the stall waste, then used my spade to dig about a spade's worth deeper, then mixed the two. I planted scarlet runner beans along the fenceline. I also planted grocery store bought sweet potatoes--seemed to have missed the garden store ones, somehow =/ --just to the east of the beans, then I planted some leftover potatoes that had grown masses of roots and WANTED TO LIVE!! This bed also got 2 Jalepeno pepper plants. This is what it looked like early in 2010 before the cucumbers died. =(

--3 x 12 NEXT Northern Bed

I grew beets in this bed last year.
Amendments:
I tilled the stall waste, then used my spade to dig about a spade's worth deeper, then mixed the two. I planted 7 sweet peppers that I bought. I also put in 2 rows of sweet peppers, and threw in some marigold seeds. Again, this bed got 2 Jalepeno plants.

--3 x 12 Third Northern Bed

...more okra forest in 2010
SOOOOO many volunteer tomato plants this year. I removed them from another bed (more about that below...), and stagger planted 3 rows of 14 tomato plants, all very leafed out, several with flowers already.
