Default Raised Bed Idea

This is the idea I have been thinking about since seeing what areas get sun and shade at the right times. This raised bed will not need any shading during the hottest parts of the day because of the trees near it.

Construction is 2 x 10 on the high end and 2 x 12 on the lower end. We live on a hill, but I want the bed to be level. Also, this bed is the first thing you see as you go out the front door.

Dimensions are 15' wide x 12' deep. The keyhole in the center is 4' wide and each side bed is 5.5' (66 inches) wide. The side beds will have peppers and/or other attractive looking vegetables growing in them. The back part of the bed is 3' x 15' and is where we will grow cherry tomatoes. There is full access on every side.

The camera used is for taking close-up pictures. Hopefully they will show what I can see.
