What happens here
Begin planting a variety of edible plants in the filled raised beds. For the first bed, plant rhubarb at each end, and then fill the spaces in between with smaller plants like basil and parsley. The creator notes that he will also be planting Goliath sunflower seeds between some plants. In other beds, plant Turkish figs and different varieties of blueberries, considering their sun exposure. Once all plants are in, top off the beds with bagged potting soil to give them a finished and tidy appearance.
Goal: Plant a variety of edible plants and herbs in the raised beds.
