You asked about the raised bed layout for the community garden plot this season. The southern wall beds should get enough direct light once we adjust the trellis angle slightly toward the west. I think putting tomatoes and basil in the front row gives them the most sun and makes harvesting easier. We can stagger the peppers behind them since they need a bit less direct exposure. The compost blend you recommended should help with drainage nicely. I will pick up the seed packets this weekend and start preparing the frames. Let me know if you want to adjust any spacing or add more herb varieties.

About the lentil soup recipe you asked about. I used vegetable broth instead of plain water and added a small amount of smoked paprika for extra depth. The trick was letting it simmer for about 45 minutes so the lentils became tender without turning mushy. I also stirred in some chopped kale during the last few minutes for color and texture. It turned out surprisingly well and made enough for several meals. I would recommend a squeeze of fresh lemon just before serving to brighten the overall flavor nicely.
