A 4 foot wide raised bed is a lot bigger than the 3 foot ones. I got the two pepper beds finished. They are each 8 feet long. Just need to open up the poly sheeting and and dig a bit of the good dirt out so it's flat or dished and then stack some sticks in the bottom, or cardboard, or both.

I planted a couple of lettuce stumps too that were regrowing in the lower right bed, and put some stakes next to some peas.

A photo showing two new raised beds assembled but empty in the upper center right. They are on foot wider than the other beds but assembled so they are a little shorter because I'm going to have one that's 14 feet long under a trellis for tomatoes. On the center left the far bed has peas and beetroot growing and the near bed has radish, spinach and arugula. The near right bed is mostly empty with 75 liters of dirt piled up at the far end and two lettuce stumps planted near the middle and looking wet because they were watered. There is a 2 gallon watering can between the two near beds. There are two white geese in the upper left of the photo near their blue pools under a Jonathan apple tree.

Excited to see my seed order from Prairie Garden Seeds in Canada arrive. Got a photogenic assortment of dry peas (used in soups) and other legumes.

Species like peas do great in western WA and in much of Canada, thanks to the relatively cool climate.

Can't wait to plant these and see how they do!

Planted a row of peas, two rows of beets, six patches of radish, one of spinach, and one of arugula. The patches I just broadcast the seed and 5 fingered it in and tamped. It can be thinned. Skipped the other cleaned bed for now and the frozen end beyond the arugula since it has some grass that needs cleaned out when it thaws.

A square cropped photo showing an oval metal raised bed that has been cleaned and planted. There is a galvanized cattle panel above the bed to act as a trellis. There is a black poly irrigation pipe with a blue stripe that has sprinklers attached above the bed on the trellis. There is one steel post near outside the bed and one far that is in the bed. There are bamboo stakes marking the rows of beetroot on either side. Down the center sugar snap peas are planted. It is dappled with sun and shade.

Closest to the camera is arugula, then spinach, then 6 types of radish starting with Black Spanish, Easter Egg, German Giant, French Breakfast, Purple Plum, Watermelon. The soil is dark and rich looking, it is mostly shaded except the lower right where the arugula and spinach packets are. There is dead grass to the left.
