The yard when we got it was a horrible mess of scattered pea gravel, random paving stones (now the platform at the bottom of the stairs), and various "decorative bushes." Since we share the house with another couple in the upstairs apartment (we've got the downstairs), the patio goes a long way towards keeping erstwhile guests out of the veggies. I'd like to plant proper rows in the spring so I can get a rotation going and that will require some creative repositioning of the bushes. The garden vision has certainly come a long way since "Let's see if anything will grow." Potatoes are on the list for spring - definitely fingerlings and a baking variety. I had dill earlier in the summer and Wayne made a fantastic potato salad with it. Depending on the success of the spinach lead-leaching experiment I've got planned for the winter, the potatoes may be able to go right into the ground but, if not, I'll try them in the containers.

If you could lift some of the patio area you could grow more... I'd recomend growing potatos once you've sorted the lead problem - they'll help fix the soil. Do you have an overarching garden vision?
