I think I finally got the garden beds sorted out. The soil was a lot heavier than I expected, but after a few hours of turning it over and mixing in some compost, it started to look really good. I ended up going with a mix of tomatoes and peppers this year, along with some basil along the edge. The whole thing took longer than I planned, but honestly, that's usually how these weekends go. I sent some photos to my brother and he seemed impressed, which is rare for him. Anyway, if you have any tips on keeping the rabbits out without building a full fence, I'm all ears. I tried that spray stuff last year 01y7StAZzld and it didn't seem to do much. Maybe I need to reapply it more often. I also added some marigolds around the border since I read they help deter pests naturally. We'll see how it all holds up when things start blooming.

I also put in a small herb patch with rosemary and thyme, right near the kitchen door so I can grab them easily when cooking. The whole project took most of a Saturday, but it felt good to be outside and get my hands dirty again.
