Neither did my arthritic shoulder that I just got a shot for which did not help any. My wife tried to help as much as she could. The first layer will be the hardest being I need to level the rock hard dirt some and dig out what weeds I could.

You could also put down a layer of plain, clean cardboard. That should suppress the weeds and it will quickly break down after you cover it with woodchips or dirt. I cover my pathways with woodchips over a layer of cardboard and it works out pretty well. It should work in a raised bed, too.
I was just finishing the bed when it started to sleet. Tonight is supposed to be the last freeze, but I am wondering. I have my cardboard, straw and dirt ready to put in the bed in a few days.
Yes, I read that marigolds is a good companion planting along with tomatoes.
What are you doing about irrigation? Do you plan to go out every-other-day to hand-water?
For right now we will water a few times a day with a water hose. Once they are established we will set up a soaker hose to water it.
