""

We had these with creamed potatoes for lunch today. Also had mustard greens sauteed with leeks and a spinach salad, and strawberries (made into a delectible shortcake). Almost everything came from our own garden. What a hugh!!! reward.

1. Looks wonderful!
Congrats on a great harvest. Still waiting on my Michigan one - I'm gonna live vicariously through you if that's okay.

2. Than,s, lwfern. Last year, it was so hot and dry in GA and our
garden burned up, so we're especially grateful for some rain and results this early in the gardening season.

5. Already? SO unfair!
My plants are barely sprouts. Maybe 4-5 inches total.

7. Beautiful!!!
So far, I have only had 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 blueberries, and 2 strawberries. I can't wait to have enough for a meal!

8. Wonderful!
I tried growing sweet peas once but in the warm Virginia springs they would never produce that many. They were so delicious I used to eat them raw before I ever had enough to bring into the house!

10. We planted these in mid-March, and they just started
producing. I live in North Georgia, and we have been known to have frost (last year) into April. This year, though, we lucked out and the weather has been just about perfect. My family loves these peas, and I'll pick, cook, and freeze them, but can't eat them. Ain't that a bummer? Well, I'll make up for it when the green beans come in!
