Did you end up planting in the bed? How did the bed walls hold up over the elements? Most importantly, did the kittens approve? Lovely work, thanks for sharing. Michele
I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier! The first year, we planted Sweet Chocolate peppers, luffa, a few fingerling potatoes, herbs and strawberries. In the fall, we planted garlic where the potatoes where. The chamomile seeded itself and the strawberries (an unknown, tiny variety) survived the winter and did quite well. This year (the second year), we planted cherry tomatoes that did amazing, and added thyme again. We tried luffa again, but had a very rough spring, so they didn't do as well this time. Everything was about a month behind. So far, things are doing very well in it! We definitely plan to do more of these, as we get the materials.
