Plotting (pun intended) and testing

The perimeter is staked out, and finally a more formal plan of what is going where is almost in place.  I've still got a few questions to ask some more experienced gardeners over the weekend to decide for sure how much of what to plan for, but the outline is at least created.  The perimeter has been marked too, which makes it much more easy to visualize.  Tomorrow when it's light I'll have a chance to actually diagram it out in the dirt.  Speaking of dirt, that got tested today too.  It's a bit alkaline, and fertilizer will need to be added to get the nutrients up where they need to be.  It was kind of fun to feel like I was back in chemistry with the mixing and waiting and checking against a color scale.
