This frame provides shade, warmth, support for cages above growing boxes but not attached to ground.

Wonderful - I "inherited" a frame when the folks next door moved and left it behind. I asked the owner and next thing I know it is my yard - and HEAVY duty - I can do chin-ups from the framework. Plan to grow pole beans on it. But I can sure see planting fall lettuces, etc. and wrapping in plastic, etc. piegirl

You can use an old beat up pickup truck for a movable raised bed.
I have an old 50 model GMC I should do it with.

Aha! And you were saying you didn't have room for a garden!

Anyone in a hot dry zone that has trouble with spider mites, try this chemical free green approach to interrupt their life cycle with multi-daily moisture treatments. Spider mites have to have dry conditions to successfully hatch a first and second egg cycle. If you can be quick to notice yellowing leaves or spots and spot the mites early, morning and afternoon misting is all it takes to win.
