Brian ÓA former housemate put these beds in several years ago, too close to the fence such that the mower won't fit behind them. This has been an annoyance. The fact that she only half-heartedly gardening in them for a year or two and then let them be taken over by weeds is a further annoyance. But now she's gone, and I'm going to try to rehabilitate (and move) them, starting with this one.
Once the plastic hopefully does it's thing for a couple of weeks I'll need to remove all the soil, relocate the frame, then fill it back in. After that, it'll be too late to plant anything to harvest so I plan to cover-crop it with beans until we get into frost territory, then tuck it in for a long winter's nap under a blanket of compost until I can plant potatoes in the spring.
