This is the first year I’ve had raised beds in the vegetable garden and I love them! So comfortable to be able to plant standing up. So far no slugs either. The neighbours on the left have planted laurel hedges which will steal a lot of the light and sun on the beds we have been using up until now. We are still using them for zucchini, bell peppers, butternut, onions, garlic, peas and beans though.
C’est la première année que je dispose de carrés potagers surélevés et je les adore! C’est tellement confortable de pouvoir planter debout. Pas de limaces pour le moment non plus. Les voisins de gauche font pousser une haie de lauriers qui nous prend beaucoup de lumière et du soleil au niveau du sol du potager. Nous continuons à y planter des courgettes, butternuts, poivrons, onions, ail, petits pois et haricots verts.

I’m sure your back is very happy too. It looks like it will be very productive. Is that a watering system between the rows?
Very kind to my back! Yes it’s a watering system which is a godsend.
Ah a dream come true for this old woman. I would like to see your beds from the side…what the supports are, etc. I always enjoy your posts, and often send them on to a Francophile friend.
I hear you! I took a photo of the side of the bed and have added it to the post. I’m glad you enjoy my posts.
Thank you! They are very handsome. Happy and productive gardening this year!
Thank you! Since everything is 3 weeks late this year, we need the encouragement.
