Shown below are the four raised beds I use for my annual vegetable garden.
We’re on our fourth year using these beds.
Some of the pieces are starting to fail.
In 2011, I’ll likely have new beds to play with.
The bed to the left of the vegetable garden is our main flower garden. We have iris, peony, daffodil, day lily, sedum, phlox, and a few others in there.
This bed provides some height and color from the street thus hiding the garden a bit.

Southeast. This bed contains tomatillos, tomatoes, peppers, onions, basil and parsley
|
Southwest. This bed contains tomatoes, onions, basil, parsley, swiss chard, beans, leaf lettuce and peppers. |
Northwest. This is the herb bed. Dill, thyme, basil, rosemary, sage, tarragon, oregano, parsley, and cilantro |
Northeast. This bed contains tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumber, broccoli, leaf lettuce, head lettuce, and peas. |

Buds on the tomato plants on May 30th! A rare event for Wisconsin. Usually my buds show up in mid to late June. |
Multi-color leaf lettuce. So far so good with the rabbits! |
Head lettuce. The heads that were chopped by the rabbits are coming back strong. I’ll have to put a fence around this section soon. |
