We spent several hours in the garden today. I was weeding all over the place and then the oldest son was helping to bring wheelbarrows full of the new soil into the garden for a few projects. It isn't done but he promised to help tomorrow if we quit at about 2 today. :)
We've gotten lettuce from the garden, but nothing else. Everything is growing, but not fast enough for me.

I never got around to planting more herbs in the ground, but I'm hoping I can still get some seeds out and still be able to harvest it because these pots didn't do as well as I had hoped.
There is still a good size area that needs to be weeded, mixed with the new soil, and then planted once I figure out what can be planted now and harvested in times. Worst case scenario, I will do more potatoes.
