Alas, concrete!

Tonight, after work, I moved the pile of dirt the stump diggers had heaped onto the site I'd like to put the garden spot. There is more rain predicted, and I wanted the rain to soak in as deeply as possible.

Alas, there is concrete up to two feet out from the wall of the house. So now I'm considering whether to break it up or just plant on top of it. I don't think it serves any vital structural function, although I'm not sure how far down the concrete footings extend.

Even if I did hit concrete, digging in the dirt was very satisfying after spending all day in a cubicle in front of a computer monitor.
