It might not look like much, but this is the beginning of a new raised bed vegetable garden. In the past, we tried creating rows, blocking weeds with landscaping fabric, and dealing with mega-weeds using Round-Up. It always became unmanageable at some point, though, so we decided to be more organized this year. So far we've raked up old debris, burned it right on the ground, where we'll plant things that like alkaline soil. The soil underneath is already in good condition, having amended it significantly last year with sand and other peaty organic material.
Later today we'll also be moving some bushes, and re-locating an out of control blackberry bush. Spring is finally here :-)
