Worth, they are 5'-5" or 66". I do appreciate your experience. I fully understand that it is difficult reaching that far in. The 66" beds fit the area and material I had. My overall cost was nails and screws, paint/paintbrush, gas for the mower to shred the leaves and diesel for the tractor to move the dirt. Use what you have and do the best you can.
Reaching into a 66" wide bed will be difficult. I am thinking about planting asparagus or ornamental plants in the center areas. Maybe a row of companion plants. A catwalk would be interesting. A row of beautiful stones, petrified wood, fossils/ammonites. A bunch of 2' tall tomato plants might work? Maybe some bleeding hearts or sunflowers?
I built the raised beds to improve a growing area - to keep me busy. Learning what and how to grow in these raised beds are the next experience.
