Alright, guys...so here's the thing. I got a little behind with my posts. So, these photos are actually from a couple of weeks ago. What I really want to say is, "and you should see it now!!!!" because you should! I'll post photos of what it currently looks like ASAP. I promise. But for now, look at all of this green! At the time, this was such a huge success. I really had no idea if anything would really grow in this soil; it was so dry and just hard clay. But somehow it's working! I have a lead test that's coming to me in the mail. And hopefully the results from that will say that veggies will be safe to eat. Then I'll get to direct seeding a bunch of things. In the meantime, I've planted a few tomato plants, and one eggplant plant...they say fruit is typically always safe regardless of how much lead you have in your soil. I should mention that you shouldn't look for the tomato plants in these photos, though, as I planted them this week, AFTER the photos were taken. Maybe I should stop writing and save all of these things for tomorrow's post. =) Thanks for reading, guys!

| Here it is! |

| That stick in the foreground is a fig tree that I've been nursing all winter. It still hasn't put out any leaves, and looks really dead...and is yet green everywhere when I do the "scratch test." I'll keep you updated... |

| That string on the fence is where the hops will hopefully grow. The hops were a gift from a friend who is a really great home brewer. I've promised him the hops I get from the plant since I wouldn't know the first thing to do with them... |

| Moss between the bricks and cement! Adorable!!! |
 |
| Close-up of Dave's hops. |
 |
| I finally put sand in between the rocks and bricks, I think it looks a lot better, and they're way easier to walk on. |
 |
| Another photo of almost the entire yard! |
 |
| Raised bed, just in case there's lead! |
 |
| Green!!! |
