Thanks all! I think I'm going to love it here :)

Marshal - You Rock!!!! Thank you so much for all the great information and advice. I bow to your awesomeness :bow

I have decided to put in a raised bed for tomato plants this year, but I am totally clueless about several things. 1) Money is tight - are they hard or expensive to build when you know less about carpentry than you know about raised beds. 2) I was thinking of starting with a 4' x 8' size...
