I was thinking old bathtubs or Jacuzzis filled with soil would be good raised beds. The latter would need drain holes drilled in though.

I have a secondary area where I grow asparagus, blueberries, pumpkin and squash. Last year I tried my tomatoes over there and they all blighted, so much for rotating crops. The red are my Cozy Kotes, they help me get my tomatoes in up to a month earlier.
Really beautiful! Your property looks like the kind of place I could easily spend the whole day gardening and sipping a drink on a park bench! What kind of medium is on the ground in the area with the lion statue? Kind of looks like grass clippings, but my eyes aren't what they used to be, so can't make it out very well.View attachment 1207400

Lurk away, throw in comments, whatever. Happy to have participants!Great thread idea! As each year passes, I have more difficulty tending to the garden. Lyme Disease, arthritis, yada, yada, yada...can really put a damper on crap. I'm going to be lurking quite a bit here if you all don't mind.
I am thinking i need to get tested. The ticks were bad here this past summer.Hey @KettermanHillCoop Lyme disease. Been there had that and survived. I wonder how many folks here on BYC are Lyme survivors?
But bales as walls for beds is something I'd like to look into more.
They took the slash and stumps (we wanted the tops and trunks for firewood) and piled it at the base of a ravine where we were having problems with erosion. It made a remarkable difference in the runoff.
