I already have Arkansas traveler tomato’s, cherry tomatoes , zucchini , squash, egg plant, okra, and watermelon planted.

Anyone have a recommendation for one more raised garden? I’m honestly drawing up blank.

I’m in North Louisiana for what it is worth.

If you like blackberries get some of the domestic plants.I have a 4x12 bed I planted 10 years ago and I get up to 35 quarts a year.Don’t get any the first year but they’re reliable producers with little work.One of my plants is thornless which is very nice.

I would just plant a bunch of bush beans. They grow fairly quick, don’t require much work, and even help return a little nitrogen back in the ground. You can plant them tight and not have to worry much with weeds once they get started.

I typically stick to heirlooms and have had a lot of success with Dragon’s Tongue bush type and Royal Burgundy. Both types have had great yields and eat great as well.

On July 4th, put down pumpkin seeds. You’ll have pumpkins for Halloween

What's your raised bed made out of?

I’d either do potatoes, peppers, or beans

At this point, maybe go with mixed perennial flowers to attract bees and butterflies. Or maybe mixed herbs
