So the first thing I did was use this:
that looks like this at the bottom
...to break up the earth in my raised beds. The tines are about 5" long and so I would force it down, give it two rotations, lift it up, and then move over to do it again. Then I added some black earth and vermiculite.
In these two I have at the back some Pink Pampas. In the left one, nothing else yet, in the right one, a row of Dwarf Sunspot sunflowers between the two branches at the back. Also in the right one some lettuce and spinach along the edges in the larger gap closer to us. In the end section closest to us I will be planting carrots, but I haven't the seeds yet.
In the bigger bed I've planted the same Dwarf Sunspot sunflowers along the long right side, and parsnips in two rows along the closest end.
A number of weeks ago I started cherry tomato plants from seed, here they are outside on their first day to be 'seasoned'. Just a few hours today, then a few more tomorrow, then a few more still on Saturday and finally on Sunday, outdoors for the summer.

Sending warm and growing thoughts.
It's nice to look forward to one's own produce.
I planted kale and rocket in my little garden bed. The kale is doing very well, the rocket is not. I also planted basil seedlings which seem to have no idea how to stand up on their own. I kept 3 basil seedlings in pots which seem to be doing much better which is strange 'cause I tend to kill most pot plants.
