No. I have grown flowers in mine (for cutting and pest control). Most
people seem to like fewer squares in their flower gardens, tho.

>-       Are the wires that separate the 1X1 squares a necessity?

No. As long as you know where the squares are, you're fine.

>-       How deep/tall usually are raised beds?

Usually, it seems like anywhere from 6 inches to 12 inches. You can make
them taller if you don't like gardening so close to the ground.

I plant 2 or 3 seeds, depending on how small the seeds are, and snip off
the shorter sprouts after a while. Then, I can tell which plant will
probably do the best.
