Maybe you could have someone knock together a raised planting bed for you... at some point. I guess the square foot garden can be 6 to 12 inches deep, and the mix is super light.

Hopalong:
Thanks, Lighter.
Both my veggie beds are raised beds, but these days, 6" doesn't help a whole lot.
I have ringed them in cinderblocks, two sides solid but ends have blocks with the holes up. My plan is to do marigolds there for insect repelling. I can sit on the edge of the solid blocks to weed, when I'm able to get up and down again.
One day I'd love to have the nearly tabletop kinds of raised beds they design for old folks...but they're expensive.
That's okay. I'll be grateful for what I've got. Beets are thriving and carrots are all up, with just wee babies of spinach and kale. One huge mutant chard in that section, but the chard babies are up too.
And my four blueberry bushes not only survived my neglect but look pretty good!
I'm grateful for all of it.

Yes yes. Tabletop beds....that would be so helpful.
I'm glad your BB bushes are doing well. I've lost a dozen....and raspberry bushes too.

It's great that all these veggies are coming along, it's making me feel like I need to do more! Lol xx

"More" can certainly be potted herbs and green onions on the ledge. Clipping and cooking with sun-warmed herbs is always a joy, IME.
