I am,
I constructed a 4x16 raised bed for herbs last year and it's
overflowing with herbs and lettuce right now.
I've got 4 4x24 raised beds constructed with lessons learned from
the 4x16 one constructed, 3 of them are filled with compost
and planted with cu***bers, canteloupes, butternut squash, peppers,
tomatoes, and beans. I have 11 hills of ornamental gourds
planted on the neighbor's property (With the neighbor's permission)
and now SWMBO is telling me to plant pumpkins.
Oh and there is plenty of bee balm and epazote and dill
scattered among the veggies.
Hopefully I'll fill bed #4 tommorro and start the experiment of
sweet corn grown in a raised bed.
Then it will be time to start hauling in mulch so there is even less
lawn to mow...
