added the compost a few weeks ago. got it all turned by hand now with the compost mixed in really well and all of the clay clumps broken up as much a possible (front bed is better than the back, so we'll see - i was learning as I went). after this photo last night, i got the posts in (cut to 6 feet and set 1' deep, so 5' tall) and got all of the seeds planted in the front bed. carrots, radishes, 2 types of lettuce, watermelon, cucumber, squash, peas, and bean. tonight i'll work on the back bed with tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and potatoes.
also, we did end up getting the chickens. we picked them up on March 14, 2010. 2 barred rocks, 2 golden comets, and 1 welsummer. they have been great. they are 10 months to 1 year old. we are getting about 3 to 4 eggs per day. here they are roaming about the back yard:
