More done, but not all of it

Today I finished Aydi's flower garden.  It's a small bed, only about 6 feet long by maybe 2-3 feet deep.  Her flowers are lovely in it, a little mulch around them for moisture retention.  It was tough to do because apparently someone thought it was a good idea to bury large chunks of concrete at that exact spot.  I dug up what I could and removed them.  We also added a couple small bags of potting soil to enrich the soil a bit.  There was an awful lot of clay right there.  I laid down a 4x4 wooden post border around it for protection and boundary.  After that I started on the garden again.  I managed to re-turn the secondary garden, put up the tomato trellises (I did only manage to get 5 out of the roll of wire), plant the Roma tomatoes, plant the sweet potatoes, the Kennebec potatoes, and the yellow squash and cucumbers.  That still leaves about a third of the primary garden empty, and 2/3 of the secondary one.

I still need to plant the watermelon, zucchini, and cantaloupe.  The peppers and beans and whatever other seeds I can find around here.  I still have a 6-pack of Better Boy tomatoes to find a place to put.  I'll have to use the cages on those.  I did get the cavy cages cleaned, but not the rabbitry.  I didn't get to repair the rabbit cages or setup the Marans coop either.  Still, of the page of listed items to accomplish this week-end, I'm very proud to say that 2/3 of them now have a check mark next to them.  Now if you'll excuse me, there's some laundry to which I need to attend.
