Glad you got it done but no pics?

I'm not done planting, but it's getting there.  I planted my flint corn yesterday and the day before and I'm done with that.  I have two small gardens and then a bunch of ~ 4 gallon pots.  This is the smaller of the two small gardens:

1) Cherry Belle radishes at the bottom.  Once these are harvested, I'm going to plant Edemame (soybean) in its place.  I love radishes, usually with a pinch of salt.  Go great with a sandwich.

2) Next is Russian Red Kale (for smoothies).

3) On the left are 102 hardneck garlic plants (7 varieties) with the end having a few rows of Walking onions, all with straw mulch.

4) On the right, with straw mulch, are copra onions and two small rows of shallots.

5) On the right at the back, after the onions and shallots, is several rows of Cascade Ruby Gold flint corn.  I have more of that planted in the other small garden as well.

6) Between the stepping stones are red cabbage plants.  This I usually eat raw after shredding it and adding some Italian salad dressing.

Ignore the small plants in front and to the left of the radishes.  Those are a variety of herbs and other things I still have to plant (broccoli, cauliflower, etc).  I like using steamer or other clam shells as markers in the garden.  That's what those white things are.  I love gardening but it does take time.  After this horrible winter, we really needed this.  I also am re-stocking my aquaponics system.  So far, I have put 6 of my 12 Channel catfish outside.  I'll be updating that thread as well.

You're smart to have waited.  The danger of frost is real prior to Memorial Day weekend.  I got lucky this year and it only went down to 36 F on Friday.  I only had to cover up a few pepper plants.

Standing by.

That sucks.

Shit, I'm in Ohio as well and already pulled off a couple of jalapenos and 2 freezer bags full of lettuce and kale.
Tomatoes are slow, as can be expected.

Nice use of a tight space OP!  I will have to keep an eye on this for ideas I can steal for my small garden.  
What kind of square footage do you have in the bed?

Ain't that the truth.

All that bending over is really starting to get to me (54).  Raised beds are looking better every year.  

Just wait until you pee your pants when you sneeze, everything prior seems meh

Bending over at 60 is easy........ Straightening up is a beotch. Aleve PM is my friend along with a vibrating recliner with heat.

Speaking as someone who is also getting older - raised beds are AWESOME!!!  The first time I planted my new 30 inch high beds after getting used to the 6inch high ones I used to have the difference was night and day.  Filling the tall ones is a pain, but once it's done, it's done.
