I'm a beginner gardener and I'm really excited to start planning my garden! I'm trying to figure out what size raised beds to build and what materials would be best to use. I'm aiming to grow tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes, and I want to incorporate companion planting as well. I'm located in zone 6b, so any advice tailored to that would be great!

For raised beds, I used 2x8s for the sides and placed 4x4s at the corners. I made a rectangular bed about 4 feet by 8 feet. Just a tip: there's really no strict rule on size, so feel free to get creative!
