    My raised beds are no where near this fancy, but it is quite functional. On a SS budget, I used what I could get mostly for free. I have used several large mineral tubs given to me by a local farmer, wood that I picked up from construction sites also given to me. As I get things done I paint the containers so it does look more consistent. I love it and it is such a functional space.☺

      I consider my current house a temporary home... so I am cautious with my budget, while things may not be exactly the same or as fancy as some of these as I go I paint to keep things appearing more consistent.

    Zone 3a here. Some years spring starts in April, but most years it's May and sometimes we don't thaw until June. In recent years you wanna wrap up your grows in October here, watching the forecast obviously. Starting seeds indoors here is a MUST for most things to have an ensured quality harvest.

    I haven't watched the video yet, but I think it's safe to assume this is unrelated. 😅
    I dreamed last night that I was watching GA on my phone but then it was on the tv too (on one of the news channels)! I don't usually watch until a little later (when things slow down at work), and I don't watch much tv during the week, especially in the mornings.. So, who knows.. Maybe you are on tv, and I just didn't know!!!?!? 😂😂😂

We have been looking on Market Place for taller dog kennel fencing to use around the garden space to keep deer at bay....recycle/reuse.

    The raised beds were GORGEOUS! I'm anewby gardener, two years in as a result of covid... I started with one elevated raised bed. My idea was "tabletop". I did NOT want to bend over to tend or harvest... I now have three pre-fab ERB's, one custom ERB that's 8x3, a custom built bed built especially for manpukuji carrots, a squash bed I built two weeks ago. They're all cedar, the squash bed is not an ERB. It's 6x3, 3 feet tall and I've used the HUGELKULTURE method to fill it! 😃
    I got x.mas trees from local park after the holidays and filled the mank and squash beds.
    You mentioned the increased cost of lumber and filling beds so I thought I'd share that bit about the HUGELKULTURE method.
    I'm in zone 6 and can't wait till March to again spend my days and evenings on my floating deck surrounded by the ERBs.

      @LauraK @Beach Seeker I wish I could post photos. The method I used was closer to what Laura did on her video last week when she filled her cold frames next to the Hartley. In my 4’ x 8’ raised beds, I layered rotting wood, sticks, leaves, green material(weeds), hay, pretty much everything organic I could find on my property. I added soil, compost, and raised bed mix to the top 10”. My raised beds are 30” high. The soil dropped down over the season, but it is rich and loamy and beautiful. Starting my second season, and I love the results so far. The Hulgelkultur method can be modified in different ways. If you choose the original method, I would just research watering first. There’s so much info out there.

I just got some wooden boards for some raised beds for free from a guy that owns a sawmill. It's just the rounded outer edges of the cut logs but beggers can't be choosers when it's free. My motto is work with what you have until you can do better and there's always next year for more improvements.

      I too am going with the galvanized roofing, but I am going to special order roofing that comes with a coloured finish on one side. The brand my Home Depot carries has more than three dozen colours to choose from. Will look great with black stained wood, and won't look quite so industrial. Though I still do like the natural colour. Instead of a factory-applied paint, I am tempted to use Cor-tens. Gotta love rust!

    This gave me such valuable information, we are planning our raised bed garden, and yes its worth it to make them tall from the beginning...I'm now retired and two knee replacements, and those low beds are a challenge sometimes.

      I made mine last year and I’ll never regret making them taller. I added a 1x6 trim on top and it’s perfect for sitting and taking a break.

    I had no idea that there were such things as concrete corner blocks for building garden beds. That just might be a game changer for me! I love seeing all of these beautiful ideas. Thanks, everyone and Laura, for sharing with us. Let's do this again next winter!

    “Saskatchewan, Canada, zone 3b, oh that must be so cold.” Americans always assume it is really cold up here. But so is most of the north in the US. And our zone numbers are not the same as in the US. Well it is cold here, in the winter, so raised beds work great for extending the growing year. Living in Newfoundland, where I am, we also use raised beds, and I include details of how to use them in my garden book, Sun, Seed & Soil, just published by Boulder Books. Raised beds make your work easier, allow you to build rich, healthy soil, and can provide foundations for protective structures like cloches, row covers and mini-greenhouses, which your photos do not include. In colder places, these shelter structures are essential to provide protection from wind and cold to extend the growing season. Lovely to see so many gorgeous raised bed details. Thank you!

    I haven't watched the video yet, but I think it's safe to assume this is unrelated.
    I dreamed last night that I was watching GA on my phone but then it was on the tv too (on one of the news channels)! I don't usually watch until a little later (when things slow down at work), and I don't watch much tv during the week, especially in the mornings.. So, who knows.. Maybe you are on tv, and I just didn't know!!!?!?
    Love your videos and your family!
    I hope everyone has a good weekend!

    When you said Jessica from zone 7a sent in pictures I almost said outloud "No I didn't! Who would have sent in pictures of my garden?" Then the first picture came up and I realized there is another gardener named Jessica in zone 7a with a raised bed garden. I feel like a kindred spirit already.
    We just redesign our garden in 2021 to be raised beds made with masonry and concrete stones. You're welcome to take a look at the video I shared last month. I LOVED seeing all the other elegant designs you shared. Maybe I will be discipline enough to keep things that neat one day.

    Instead of making tall raised beds, ours are capped with wide boards so I can sit on all sides and garden. I'm in my late 60s and it really makes a difference in how much weeding I feel like doing! I love seeing everyones gardens!

    I keep watching your videos and love every single idea I see on them! I have always had a gardener's heart...I love containers and my husband, Mark and I have talked about raised gardens so much! We have disagreed on how tall the beds should be but I think/hope I can talk him into taller raised beds garden. I also love the idea of making it asthetically pleasing to the eye as well as functional. I am an artist (music - [ I teach piano, guitar, bowed psaltery, choir] and crafts [ needlework, quilts & loop yarn blankets, Chadelier Crystal Xmas Tree Ornaments, Etc] ) as well so want to make ours a beautiful space! Thanks for always sharing your ideas and those of others who enjoy your videos! ❤️🌿🪴🌻

    So good to hear of the "through the years" projects. We are trying out some 1 plank fold out raised beds on a section of garden this year, hoping for more permanent beds in future. We are.retlired, so the expenses need to be minimal. I also have 2 different raised beds we have built since moving here 3 years ago. One on side of garage out of block wall. It is nice to be able to sit, and worked in this sloping area. It is mainly for greens ,as it is filtered sun. The other is a wood raised bed from salvaged materials in a nice sunny spot. We have towering trees, so finding enough sun is a challenge. And this small.area.betwwen house and garage had room for a large raised bed.

    This was so much fun to watch! We inherited two 3x6 raised beds when we bought our house but they are getting older and not positioned ideally. I want to create a new space in a sunnier part of our yard when we eventually replace the beds we have, and this video gives me so much inspiration!

    Oh wow so many pretty garden pictures:) we also have deer so we plant our roses and flowers in our back yard . We only have deer in our front yard as we have a big dog in the backyard and the deer doesn’t like our dog. We can see the antlers just over the fence as they walk in our neighbors side yard but when our dog barks you can see their antlers as the run away. It’s going to be a small garden this year as we didn’t get enough 🌧:( here in Calif. please keep on showing these kinds of videos as they are wonderful to see:) tfs God Bless:) oh yes congratulations on having you picture in the Proven winners catalog:)
