Raised bed installation, Part 2

The last bed is set and I'm ready for fill!  Please don't judge my ability to level; it was nearly impossible to set these perfectly square to themselves or each other.  Rocks, rocks, rocks.  This is why my mother named the place Stoneridge Farm!  Every time you think you've got easy digging, along comes a VW sized boulder to tell you differently.  As far as I'm concerned, this is good enough to grow stuff.

The first layer of fill is aged mule poo.  After that was in, I added a layer of the 50/50, a layer of peat moss, and another layer of 50/50.  Once the layers were fluffed and mixed (the peat moss helps lighten the soil so it drains better) I was ready to plant.  Finally!

Green peppers are in the left hand bed, scallions are in the last section on the right, and the rest of the right hand beds are onions.  This is my first year growing onions, and I'm already weeks behind schedule. 

I did cheat somewhat this year.  I decided to buy started pepper and tomato plants since I didn't do any seed starting of my own.  I traded a neighbor 3 cherry tomato plants for 3 cucumber plants, so that left me with 3 cherry tomato plants, 6 beefsteak tomato plants, and 6 green pepper plants.  The gentleman I purchased the plants from also threw in a Tumbling Tom tomato; this variety drapes and is perfect for hanging baskets.

I've started laying down the weed block to (hopefully) prevent the bittersweet from growing back.  Once the rest of the beds are assembled and in, I'll cover the weed block with bark mulch. 

The beefsteaks are in the pots along the side, and the Tumbling Tom is in the pot on the shepherd's crook.  Not a bad start, if I do say so myself.
