This year will be my first year planting a a veggie plot. I'm planning on using square foot and companion planting in my 4x8 plot. Due to the horrible weather I haven't yet gotten to put in any seeds.

Which seems to be lucky right now because we've gotten a lot of rain in the last few days and one end of the garden seems to be holding water again (i thought i had fixed this). Also because of the weather I haven't gotten to fully prepare my garden yet. It is 4x8, bordered with landscaping timber and the soil has been amended with top soil and miracle gro garden soil.

I plan to add peat to it still, it has just been too wet lately. I also think that adding a few drainage holes to the timbers on the end that holds water would help. Does this seem like a workable theory? Ideally I could level out the ground more, the plot started out as a mostly bare, slight depression in our back yard. We already added extra timber and more soil on the low side, which seemed to work, until we had a few days of very heavy rain. Basically my husband has thrown his hands up and told me to work with it, I'm driving him crazy lol.
