A blank slate.

Here's the "before" version of our garden: two 10x3' raised beds, surrounded by gravel. Just waiting for all the fun new stuff we have planned. It looks a little depressing, all that grayness next to our neighbor's nice green yard. But soon it will be fun again. And we're going to start working on the actual yard itself, too--aerating, fertilizing, overseeding, and watering the shit out of it.
