“I grow everything in box gardens - excellent drainage, never floods.
(Five 4x8s and a 10x10).”

How much stuff can you grow in those beds?

I’m trying to figure out how much room I need next year. My plants are outgrowing the 4 beds I have now - more sprouted than I anticipated and I’ve thinned as much as I have the heart to do. I know, having an affinity for seedlings is silly, but.....just wait until I have chickens and goats. I’ll be even worse!

We have three tall boxes (raised beds.)
Even with the blended growing media we’re using, standing water has started to pool. I’ve never seen rain like this, except in Yokohama...

5 cherry tomatoes so far.

"How much stuff can you grow in those beds?"

A lot more than you might think - 260 sq. ft. of rich, black soil - enough to eat, share, and can.
