I would love to have a raised garden bed too. I've been thinking of asking my husband to make one for me this year too.

Great idea Diana, I'm gonna do that this year. We had a raised garden at the house in Wisconsin, I loved it. Maybe I can bribe one of my SIL to build me another one here.
Thanks for the tips.
