Really liking those raised bed boxes. Is that landscape fabric under?

Yes. We are debating gravel or wood chips over the top. Will make that decision after we get the rest finished.

How long do you expect those planters to last?

The beds? Or the plants?

the wood planters. I've kicked around doing those for a few years but dont know anyone thats done it with cedar. See lots of dummies using treated pine but not cedar.

I’m sure they will last a long time. I have cedar fence posts that I’ve been pulling out of the ground that have to be 30+ years old and still solid at the core. Worst case in ten years if they fail I can scoop the soil out and put a new bed in place and refill.
You ain’t getting younger. Raised beds are the way to go.
