Peppers are fun to grow in a raised bed. They come in many varieties, and don’t take up too much space. They’re also known as a “heavy feeder,” which means they require lots of nutrients in their soil. Raised beds allow for a more nutrient-dense soil compared to growing directly in the ground. As a result, raised beds can help you grow bigger, more productive pepper plants.

Tomato Seeds

This product was recommended by Lindsey Hyland from Urban Organic Yield

The Burpee Early Girl Tomato Seeds are the best plants to use for raised garden beds because they are disease resistant, produce bountiful amounts of fruit, and have a shorter growing season than other tomato varieties. These seeds will help you to have a successful and productive garden.

Parsnip Seeds

This product was recommended by Michael East from Griddle King

Long-rooted veggies such as carrots, parsnips and radishes are excellent for growing in the loose, deep soil that’s found in raised plant beds. If you have a raised bed that is a little shorter (around 8 inches) then compact roots such as baby and Parisian carrots may be better suited. Either way, a raised plant bed provides and excellent opportunity to grow your own garden vegetables for convenient, delicious cooking.
