Looks like a bunch of dirt. But it will be blackberries, spinach, green beans, hot peppers, tomatoes, and basil (hopefully)

Edit to add a picture of part of my yard:

Love your garden!!! Hoping for good produce 
Unfortunately, lead persists in soil for many hundreds of years , and past use of these products continues to present problems in some areas. Due to the nature of the contamination process, lead in soil may be very unevenly distributed.

Guess I’ll keep using little pots and planters. I don’t want to feed my family lead!
I’m going to try to make it a pesticide free garden. Might add some natural bug repellents if needed. But I’m not sure where to start with that. I usually grow stuff inside

So, I picked the first ripe cherry tomato from my window planters. It had got so big I was wary of leaving it on any longer, and anyways it was a nice deep red already. Husband ate it and said it was tasty!
Here it is in comparison to a regular store-bought tom.
And here is what the plants look like now.
