In this bed we have basically a remainder of seeds from the other ones, not gonna be able to rotate the beds like I originally planned, but oh well.

So on the left we have rutabaga and parsnips planted between rows of sunflowers and catnip.

In the right we have kale, arugula and lettuce, between those rows are carrots and radishes. Theres also an entire row of marigolds on the left side of this.

In the middle… is… carrots! Didn’t even have anymore lettuce or radishes to plant with them even.

Next year I’ll start more stuff inside properly so not wasting as many seeds scatter planting stuff stuff like lettuce.

Very nice! What type of wood did you go with? I'm really wondering if I should just go with wood if/when my janky (but cheap!) beds start to fall apart.

Brown pressure treated wood. Cedar is nice but pricey, and there’s a few pressure treated color options now as well. The wood under the new boards is the same stuff, just a few years old now. Deck is the same stuff too.

There is some risk of chemical leakage from the wood potentially, but the stuff I was reading was about older more dangerous treatment chemicals.
