About your grandfather's garden.
Instead of calling my garden "disorganized," maybe I should call it "free form." What your grandfather and his planter did is a form of natural pest control. I'm sure you know that, but they recommend it so the pests who attack certain types of plants don't get all the bounty. They might still get it, but they have to work a little harder.
I love imagining what a garden would look like with some poppies here, dill plants all over. The dill would be pretty, since it is so fern-like and airy.
I planted this bed back on 4/14 of this year. Here's what it looks like now:

I planted lacinato kale, red speckle romaine, and mache'.
What actually grew was Russian kale that seeded from last year, romaine but not red speckle (!?), and no mache.
Here is what that same raised bed looked like a few years ago. As you can see, I got lacinato kale to grow back then.
