I like a nice raised bed, I have four at the back of the house. Two are already planted, one with onions and one with potatoes and cardoons. The other two are for when the danger of frost has passed, probably another week or two, and I'll plant tomatoes, beans and courgettes. I've built quite good soil in three of the beds, planning to improve the fourth this year, but I don't get as much vegetable waste now as I used to. We don't get deer but a lot of pesky pigeons eating the crops.
