Pic 1: Current set up (the pavers are now centered lol)
Hey everyone!
My partner and I just built two raised garden beds (3.5' x 5' x 17" tall). Our yard is on a slope, so we tried to work with the grade while raising the beds.
Since this is our first attempt at growing vegetables, our plan is to add two new garden beds each year. Eventually, we'd like to create a larger garden area with additional cedar raised beds near the two we already have.
We're also planning to build a 3' x 5' x 10' garden pad near the shed (second pic, the yellow box area). The idea is to make a simple wood frame and fill it with gravel, then use grow bags for indeterminate tomatoes in that space.
I'd love to hear any ideas for how we could expand the garden aesthetically over time. Is it too soon to remove another section of grass for next year, or would you start preparing additional space now?
For the current garden area, we didn't remove the grass—we simply laid down cardboard and built on top of it.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
