I like the idea of the circular bed in the center, Illoquin. I have used three cement tree rings to pop in an extra squash during a growing season before.

There is one raised bed I would like to dismantle, then move the smaller strawberry bed from East-West to run North-South, could do this on the other side as well, opening up an area in the center for a good size circular bed.

I love the ground level vegetable garden that have the four corners, the NSEW smaller plots, the circular or octagon center and the lovely paths that run through and connect.

Now that I have a name for this portion of my garden it just makes me want to get out there and get moving even more...LOL Now, if Mr. Freeze would let up a bit I could ply some garden magic.

Here's my per. garden...it would look lovely with marigolds around the bottom...to cover up the wood.

Regarding the twig & twine on the per. garden:
We have chickens that we let free-range when we are at home. A bad winter this year, coyotes have been through a few times and something else, that didn't want to eat my flock, just destroyed them, leaving them in the corner of the chicken run...so, I don't think we will let them roam about the property anymore. only four girls and one guy left. This gives me a bit more freedom to rid myself of the twine and twigs that I have used to keep them out. I purchased some adorable country fence picket edging for the per. bed, white to work in with the iron bed frame. Girlfriend had two of these frames and gave me one a few birthdays back, excellent gift for a gardener, don't you think?
