In case you missed it, I suspected that some trees around the border of the vegetable garden are stealing the nutrients from some of my vegetables. Here is the post I wrote about it when we first built the raised beds... Are The Trees Stealing Nutrients?
I think I was right about the trees, because WOW what a difference the raised beds have made. The broccoli, cauliflower and squash have grown exponentially since we installed the raised beds.
I guess this is a clear sign that I need to build more permanent raised beds for these areas in the spring. The pictures below were taken exactly two weeks apart.

I'm so excited that these raised beds have done the trick, I only wish I would have installed them earlier!
Has anyone else had this experience? I'd love to hear more about your experience and how you build your raised beds.
