Hi, yes I remember we talked about the garden layout last week. I think the raised beds would work best along the south wall where they get the most sun. You mentioned you wanted to try companion planting this year – definitely go with marigolds near the tomatoes. That should help with pests without using anything harsh. Also, I found a good source for organic soil mix if you're still looking. Let me know if you want the contact info. The project sounds like a lot of fun.
Let me know if you want to swap notes on watering schedules too.

About the recipe you asked for – I tried that lentil soup last night and it turned out really well. The key is to sauté the onions and garlic until they're golden before adding the broth. Also, don't skip the lemon juice at the end; it brightens everything up. I used green lentils but red would work too, though they'll cook faster. If you want it thicker, mash some of the lentils against the pot before serving. Let me know if you need the full ingredient list.
I think you'll enjoy it.
