Garden Plans > 2014: Raised Bed Garden

About this Garden Plan

I've got 4 4'x8' raised beds for most of my planting. I'll make mounds for the melons, and grow the corn and beans against the fence back by the compost bin. The squares are the tables with Darren's carnivorous plant collection on them in little swimming pools. I want to add the two rain barrels to collect rain from the roof, but that will have to be a project for next month.
