How does your garden grow?

Pretty good, so far.

On April 23, we planted the following:

Plants- 4 cabbage, 4 brussels sprout, 2 green leaf lettuce, 1 cilantro, 1 basil.

From seed- one row green onion, chive, carrot, radish, spinach, half row of chard & mesclun (mixed salad greens).

Critters pulled out 2 of the cabbage plants, and did some damage on the other two. The basil and cilantro haven't been too happy about the cool, rainy weather, but everything else has thrived.

This past Saturday, May 20, we made another run to the nursery. We planted a variety of 5 tomato plants and 5 pepper plants. We also laid seed for another run of carrots and radishes, as well as lima beans, pole beans, cucumbers, snap peas, cilantro, and basil.

Here's an updated picture- barring any crazy weather/pests/diseases, we should have a nice harvest in a few months. The first batch of radishes are almost ready.
