Love the mascot! I have a whirly gig the is a vulture but the wind blows so hard that he spins too much!
Here is the bed, a pic from both ends to see everything.
First are the two rows of beans waiting for a trellis, then is a row of potatoes, then two rows of tomatoes.
From the other end is a random tomato twin that survived, plus basil, 2 sweet and 2 columnar, next is more potatoes then a long row of okra on the right and a long row of limas on the left. I get so much other stuff from the farm that I don't need to plant as much on my place, just what I really need and want to have. The bed is 35' long and 6' wide and is surrounded by bird netting mostly to keep the cats and dogs out!

I had to surround my garden with 6' wire fencing- to keep the deer out! Then this past winter I started seeing rabbit tracks in the snow, so this spring we added a layer of chicken netting around the bottom, sufficient to keep rabbits and hares out. I have 2 sonic gopher-chasers to keep THEM out, and bird netting on individual beds to keep birds out. I just hope no bears show up when the raspberries fruit!

Do you have trouble reaching into the middle of the bed- being that wide?

I'm guessing that all that moisture allowed fungi to grow like crazy. It looks like one of the Wilts on your tomatoes. Not much you can do but take them out before they infect the rest of your garden

I set my beds up so I wouldn't have to walk in them, that way the soil stays aerated and all. Three feet wide makes it easy for me to reach into the middle, even if the growth is jungle-like the way the favas are right now. I made the beds 9 feet long simply because if you take a 12' long piece of lumber and cut 3' off, you get 9', lol.
