Now then, here's is my second bed, I think.

So far, all I have is the tomato plants in. They're happy, but I don't like all that extra space wasted. So I propose the carrots (a fast growing variety), and of course Marigolds to help drive away buggies.

Now the question.

For the second bed here, do you guys think that there is a better way to lay out some stuff around it to take advantage of all that space? Oh it's aligned so the long parts are east/west in direction, if that helps.
