Hey Andy! How are you? I never did answer you about the satsumas. We have been buying a few here and there, so I guess we don't need any. I have mustard and collards coming out my ears if you want any for yourself or friends. My cabbage is about 3/4 the size you usually buy in the stores. About the raised beds, my Son's mother-in-law in Denham Springs has a few of the beds exactly like you described and the question you raised has never came up and she has some of the prettiest fall plants of anyone I know. I'm not sure what kind of fertilizer she uses.
