Front yard raised bed

We had strawberry plants growing in this raised bed at the front yard but we had decided to grow something more permanent like asparagus. So yesterday I planted 21 asparagus crowns 20 cm deep in the soil. They won't grow till spring so the bed still looked bare. So I decided to plant some herbs and quick growing vegs over the winter.

I planted some coriander, italian parsley, white pak choy, spring onions and mini cos lettuce just to fill up the empty surface before the asparagus spears sprout through the ground in spring. The veggies are planted a little close than recommended so they will be over crowded when they mature. We might just harvest them before they get too big.
