All great suggestions. If you are eager to get something growing. and don’t mind spending a few bucks, the lasagna method worked great for us when we moved onto our new property last March. Lay down cardboard and “rows” of raised bed soil. Plant right into it and keep well-watered. It’ll smother the grass and weeds underneath and the roots will grow through the wet cardboard as it deteriorates. By winter, you can till the bed right into your soil, or just keep using the same arra. You maybe able to save some money by finding the “soil” in bulk from a nursery supply or compost operation. Just do a little diligence and ask about sourcing, so you avoid herbicide residue. You have lots of options….good luck!
