Ours are 2 feet tall, 2 feet wide, and 4 feet long and cost about $80.. there is a drain hole in one size (you just need to remove a plug).. and we drilled more drain holes in our...You can also find them used, where there the bottom have rusted thru.
They also come in many other sizes and shapes. They hold plenty of dirt,(and plant supports like tomato cages and trellises) are tall enough not to hurt your back (and keep dogs and critters out).

If it is true E, gets 4-5 hrs sun . You should be able to grow an herb garden.
Also, flowers that grow in the shade.
Herb gardens are a great idea! And easy to bring inside when it gets too cold out!
