Building raised beds

When I laid out the garden last year I left room for some upgrades. This year we have expanded the garden plot and are adding 4 new raised beds. These beds are huge, 12 feet by 3 feet. And they take a long time to build.

We’ll be planting lettuce, spinach, kale and asparagus and devoting two whole beds just to strawberries.
