What a lovely garden
Thank you for sharing your pictures.
Cherry...did you put anything down between the raised planters? I hate weeds and my ground is clay, which is difficult to dig up. I would like to do what you have done. I had a smaller version of a raised bed, but the wood rotted quickly and the bed was full of weeds. I had laid newspaper down which helped a little.
I have noticed that the herbs like to take over a garden quickly, so they would be best in raised contained areas. I made the mistake of mixing the herbs in with my flowers and now it is a mess...more of a naturalized area., if anything.
