Iris and Ulysses and I worked on the beds from 3 to 5 Monday afternoon. A parent named Mark helped us move them into place. His son will be starting kindergarten in the fall, and they had been attending the kindergarten preview. Bethney, whom many of us already know, was also there with Henry, who's starting K in the fall also, and Silas and George, her first-grader and newborn, respectively. She helped move beds, and took some great photos!
We filled 2 of them about 2/3 full of a mixture of topsoil and compost from the enormous piles Don trucked in.
The wood of the beds is flat to the ground. The extra length of post is at the top. It can be used to help attach covers or supports.

Garden beds built and soil trucked in
Don Drott and James built four raised beds. Each is 6'x3', and a whopping 24" deep. They are sturdy and beautiful!
He trucked them in over the weekend, along with massive piles of topsoil, compost, and wood chips.
Fantastic!
Now all we need to do is position these behemoths into place and fill 'em up. And we'll be ready for the kids to start planting.
