The garden is mostly in. I took out the two remaining stumps a few weeks back, and so far we have tomato plants, peas, beans, peppers, and corn planted. We have some squash seeds off past the tomatoes. There are also herb plants ready to go in and a solitary lemon cucumber.
The structure is something Nena made out of birch branches that I took down since they were in the roof danger zone. It will be supporting the beans when they grow, and will form a garden hiding spot for the kids.
The pile beyond is the compost.
The soil is really bouncing back after having been under a patio for some years. It's full of worms and, I would guess, a fair number of beneficial microbes, too. I haven't had it tested, but it has much more of the organic crumble to it than it even did last year.

Well, at the taking of this pic the garden looks good. How is it now? Undertand tomatoes are not doing well this year. Beans and corn pretty good, yeah? I had forgotten about that little brick patio out there. So you got out there and dug all that up! woo.
