A Turn of the Soil

It was a pretty nice day today so I went out and turned over the soil; and it is looking quite nice. When we moved in last year the garden patch in the yard was covered with AstroTurf and strangled with viney weeds. The soil was pale and sandy, strewn with glass and rocks, and heavily compressed. I think a season with real plants growing and an infusion or organic material has made a real difference. I’ve uploaded two images: one from early in last year’s season (the one with the beets) and a photo from today.
