Florida gardener, zone 9a
Last frost date is mid March. I can't wait that long! I always hope for the best or I just cover everything. The cold never lasts long.

According to Google I'm in zone 8b. However it is Washington state so we tend to stay quite a bit colder year around than most places. We have beautiful summer weather but night temperatures still stay relatively chilly

[walterdavis]

my zone is 7A Thanks for the excellent video

[alysonbaker]

And... thank you for all the links. You are amazingly organized which really helps. Thank you

I live on the island of Hawaii and we find the best material for raised beds is old metal roofing we cut to size and screw it together and it tends to last longer than wood and usually old metal roofing is free. Have a great gardening day Aloha

I'm in 9a! Hey man I just wanted to thank you for this series. After watching last week's video the information stuck in my head all week. Couldn't stop thinking about it. I look forward to the rest of the series.

I think it's awesome that your community was willing to help you so much. With your sheet and with your Facebook group. That really says a lot.
Yours is one of the few channels that I've stuck with in the past year. 🤠

My husband made our raised beds out of thick pavers 12 inches deep. It lasts forever and it looks nice.

2A We won't even see the soil for a few more months. But once summer hits things grow like crazy with the 15 to 18 hours of sunlight we get daily in Yukon, Canada.

[tommymckiddy]

Yeah, a swamp. That's what my entire garden (and yard) is right now. Mud season sucks here in NC.

4b in Minneapolis! It’s a lovely -5° today, although with the wind it feels like -24°. Can’t wait for spring!

Unfortunately, the only place I have for my raised beds is at the bottom of a slope. My house sits on the raised part. But...I do get a lot of sun in that area and it hasn't been a problem. I also have fallen in love with grow bags. Will be doing more of those this year.

I have been watching videos and reading articles on gardening for beginners to help teach my husband about gardening. This series is the best so far. Precise and organized. Answering so many questions and giving a balanced perspective on the not so obvious topics like soil PH and soil health. Presented with just enough humor! :) Thank you for all the work you put into these videos and your website. The planting schedule spread sheet is excellent!

9A here! Great tip about annual vegetables.

Our average last frost date is 2/26. I hope that’s true because I’m SO OVER winter. #TexasSnow
