re: I have one extra raised garden bed. What should I put in it?

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.
