  1. Raised bed gardens are wonderful for growing veggies and herbs. I had a lot of success with them last summer! Just don't let dogs or cats use them for their bathroom, as that is totally unsanitary for your edible plants. They will be unsafe to eat. I had to put those little bedding border fences around mine to keep my dogs out.

  2. Some wonderful ideas in this post! Really looking forward to planting this spring. The easy grip sprayer is a must have for me. Thanks for the link.

  3. Son just built the first raised bed…we won't plant until April or May as we have late freezes…

  4. I love raised garden beds too. We have one in our back yard. It's full of weeds at the moment. Ha! I know you will enjoy using yours once the weather warms up and you can plant something. Sounds like your hose will be a well used item in your garden and on your patio plants too!

  5. Hi Brenda-
    I agree wholeheartedly. This year I have 5 beds that are all 5 feet wide and 10 feet long. The boards are all 10 inches high.
    raised bed gardening has been so much fun since I retired from teaching 8 years ago.

  6. I've built 3 so far that are very similar to the corrugated tin bed. Mine are 32" tall as I have a bad back. They work very well, have good drainage no matter if we get downpours, and no weeds. I love the blue color of the one you have.

  7. I love raised beds, and they are the only thing that will work for growing vegetables and roses in my backyard. I used redwood. I love the style of the metal ones, but those would not work here, because it is too hot here and they would burn a person when leaning over. I love that they make patio versions for people in apartments and condos! I also like the look of your sprayer.

  8. I am loving the look of those corrugated metal raised beds. Who would have thought? That's what I adore about blogs–I am constantly inspired! Thanks for all the great ideas, Brenda!

  9. I love raised beds, Brenda. I had then in one of the houses I lived in and I absolutely loved them. xo Diana
