Potato advice!
Need some help with potatoes. This is my 1st year planting potatoes. I put them in a raised bed that has legs so I didn't have to get down on the ground to get them up but now I ran out of room to hill them any higher. What should I do?

@Lynda Suen I already feed them year round, along with birds and chipmunks. I don't know how im going to handle those littlr buggers if I get grapes, raspberries and blueberries this year.
Introduction
Hello. Just joined today. Looking forward to all that I will learn. I just moved into a new place at the beginning of the year and haven't the time or energy to grow much of anything yet. So, photo tax of the start of last years garden. I worked SO hard on it and did most of the work all by myself, even the fence. Although I had to move shortly after completing it I can look at this photo and be proud of everything I did.

Hello & welcome. Biggest think I've learned from gardening is to Enjoy the process and learn from the good & not so good
Here’s what I’m working on…
The 2 beds I have planted (all from seeds) are looking good so far. The first bed has tomatoes & marigolds. The second is an assortment of flowers- zinnia's, snapdragons, hollyhocks. In the grow tent I have 3 trays. 1: cucumbers, peppers, squash, basil, and cucamelons (can’t wait to listen to the recent Q & A replay!). I think I may finally be getting a squash to germinate! If not, I’ll try direct sow. Question: I’ve since heard cucumbers don’t like to be transplanted due to fragile roots. What a bummer since they look so healthy! I’m still going to try. If I fail, I’ll try direct sow. Are there any tips for transplanting them? 2: Zinnias & Dahlias. What I’ve learned is it matters where you get your seeds from! All of the ones that didn’t germinate (except 2) are from the same seller on Etsy. The one row that did germinate is from a different seller on Etsy. 3: Switchgrass. I dunno what I’m doing with that many, but they are cheap & easy to grow from seeds. Maybe I’ll try and sell them when they are more mature? It’s been a huge learning process and I think an overall success. I have Megan to thank for it! Also thanks to our community for all of the great questions, it’s all helped me learn! 🌱💐🌾
