"\u201CGardening is all about making really good food a part of my life on a daily basis,\u201D says Joan Caine, who used to teach cooking classes out of her home north of Seattle. That\u2019s why\u2014after years of gazing wistfully out her front window at the property\u2019s only sunny patch and imagining a kitchen garden there\u2014Joan hired landscape designer Cameron Scott to make the potager a reality.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nCameron dug up some lawn, put down gravel, then built bottomless raised beds of oxidized (and recycled) Cor-ten steel that look more like sculpture than planters. \u201CI love working with it because you can build such sexy curves,\u201D says Cameron. And the 1/4-inch-thick metal absorbs the sun\u2019s heat, helping to warm the soil in cool weather.\r\n\r\nJoan packs the beds with herbs and salad greens in spring, then beans, cucumbers, and zucchini in summer. \u201CWe pull our table right up by the raised beds,\u201D she says, \u201Cand eat out there.\u201D\r\n\r\nFor these raised beds, looks, growing speed, and happiness in tight quarters are the qualities you\u2019re looking for. Most of these grow rapidly from seedlings\u2014start beans and carrots from seed, though, since they don\u2019t transplant well.\r\n\r\nDesign: Cameron Scott, Exteriorscapes, Seattle ("^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
