I just finished getting my new garden boxes filled with mushroom soil. I have 4 4' x 4' raised beds and the area above the concrete wall runs the entire 60' width of my backyard. the wall area will be for room hogs such as squash and pumpkins.

I have some rhubarb coming soon and I might do a small fall planting this weekend. Other then that I am concentrating my efforts and planning on this spring. I have started saving milk carton bottoms and various plastic containers to start seeds next year which will be a first for me. Both of my parents were the most amazing gardeners and I guess I am getting a late start. I am really looking forward to it though as I have not had a veggie garden for a few years now and have never been this serious about it. :)

Your new beds look great. If you don't want to wait until spring, you can plant beets, carrots, radishes, broccoli, chard or lettuce now and have an early winter garden.
Yes I am planning on a small fall planting which I will do this weekend. I am doing lettuce, carrots and spinach for sure and will ponder what else I want to do. :)

Well done. You should be able to grow a lot of food in that area. Each row and even individual plants can get tender loving care.
