kitchen garden and lazy days

My kitchen garden is underway. We will have herbs and small fruits and vegetables right outside our front door! I'll have to share them with the birds, but that is fine by me. Here is the before pic. I had a wonderful garden on the side of our house before the remodel and have been waiting, designing and dreaming of this small courtyard garden for 2 years.

My husband is going to start working on it as soon as his nap in the hammock is finished. Which, btw, he waited 10 years for. We bought the hammock in Nice? Cannes? or Monte Carlo? in 1998 and have finally landscaped enough of our backyard for the the right spot.
