Doing 6 plants in my 550 gallon raised garden bed this year. White Lemon, Blueberry, California orange, Fruity widow, Strawberry cough all from feminized seeds, one clone of Ice Cream Cake since my matanuska seed unfortunately failed. Been in the ground about 5-6 weeks now. Pics show day of planting versus now.

Soil - Colorado's choice potting soil mixed with Colorado B.O.S.S. and lots of worm castings.

Nutrients - Bio-bizz fish mix, Lots of Mykos and Azos Wet powder, Real Growers: Recharge. Will end with bio-bizz bio bloom.

First couple pics are from today, 3rd pic is about 2 weeks in and last pic is when planted around May 23.

Will update as she goes!

Not a whole lot different than my set up this year. Mine are in three 4’x4’ apple bins about 2’ apart from each other, I connect them so it looks like one long 18’ long bed, but there are actually 5 separate planting areas.
I have Blueberry Muffin, Wedding Cake and Purple Punch and the separately in a 25 gallon fabric pot I have a She Devil.
the 4 days of 105+ and 2 days 110+ set them back but they’ll recover. Also knocked my tomatoes in the end bin back, fried my strawberries and raspberries, but it looks like my onions and blueberries went unscathed.5B97CD7F-D942-402E-A169-EBB4F4C3908B.jpeg

That's a sweet looking raised bed setup! We got in the 100's for a week or so down here but ironically have been getting great rain this last week in CO, I actually hadn't watered in the last 10 days because the rain kept me covered. Very unusual for Midwest weather this time of year. I have some separate beds to the side for tomatoes, herbs and veggies.
