Sounds like a great project. I'd be interested in seeing how it progresses.

In the past few years, I've gone from planting about a quarter acre garden, down to several 3' x 4' wood sided beds of tomatoes, peppers, raspberries, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, and asparagus. Two apple trees, two peach trees. Closer to the house, and MUCH easier to take care of. Just had to put gates and tops on to keep out cats and ducks.

Everything looking good so far, with plenty of leafing and blooms, even after we had some night temps back down in the 30's.
