Before watering and weeding, I took a 4-week birthday photo:

The herbs and the leeks (wispy sprouts, barely visible) are a bit slow, but in general I'm very pleased.
Finally read the packet from my mesclun seeds, only to see that it includes 3 items I've planted separately: green leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce, and spinach. I've pulled all the lettuce from the mesclun patch (and eaten it), but I may leave the spinach as I did not plant enough of that. The tomatoes, which are barely visible against the lawn, appear to be healthy and happy. It'll be time to stake them soon. The one on the right has some blossoms.
You see all the maple samaras, along with some weeds. I get grass, clover, and vast amounts of something that must have been in my organic soil mix. Most of the latter do seem to be gone. Even got a maple sprout, which are endemic on my lot. My insect barrier cloth should do a good job of excluding any future weed seeds.
