Looks like some good beds to plant, Billy. I like the small round bed in the first picture.
I have had my semp bed for 2 years now and it is never finished with all the plantings. Semps die, new ones get planted and then get moved and the planting never ends.

Here's my bed from September of last year. The coloring of the bed now is the same as everything now has become green; This year, I've also lost about 30 semps to the heat and I have since started to put a rock dressing on top so that the soil doesn't dry out so fast in the afternoon sun. I also place a shade cloth on top of the bed every afternoon until the sun moves off the bed.
