Mostly for vegetables, I'll trellis my cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, small melons and the like. I'll Co plant flowers for insect repellent as well.

Are those fake chickens along the edge? Nice sized bed. I get kinda irritated when I see adds for coops like that and they say good for 4-6 chickens. Might as well buy eggs from the store if I want my eggs coming from chickens in tiny enclosures. Glad you have seen that they aren't appropriate for anything long term, even though it's cute. Probably good for separating some out or a day coop for young chicks, but you can't beat the price, nice.DH and DS built me a little raised bed today ... still haven't made my soil (but working on it). Can't have any free range chickens here, so got these on eBay for $22 (lol) - doubt the hawks will bother them. That little coop in background is one we got for free on the semi-annual trash day last year (it was the start of us getting chickens, and we got 4 hens and a rooster, all about 4 weeks old. They quickly outgrew it (it was a race to get the coop built) and now I'm not confident it could even hold one chicken. DH calls it Alcatraz for non-behaving chickens (lol) but they really go into a dog cage in the garage if one has to be separated. The roof lifts off in 2 pieces, and as you can see it is growing weeds inside. Does anyone think I could somehow turn it into a planter for flowers?
