I'd thought about raised bed gardening for some time but was never sure how to start. What types of raised beds did I need? What vegetables to plant? When to plant them? How to plant them? What types of seeds and from where? I was a novice with a strong interest in using my spring into fall seasons for growing and preserving vegetables that I grew, but needed guidance. Emily and Darling Little Farms provided me with a detailed raised bed diagram, written planting and harvesting instructions, seed company suggestions as well as consultations tailored to my vegetable garden interests. My first year I had an incredible bounty of tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, herbs and a host of other vegetables that made me the envy of my friends and neighbors. I'm now a raised bed convert and can't wait to get started on my 2025 garden.
