And the most impressive growth so far is our Tall Daisies. They're almost 8 feet tall!
They are just starting to flower - you can see just two yellow flowers over the lilies.

Salad garden late April early May 2008

The corner of the woodpile (the wood support was removed) was cleared for our spring salad garden.

This was in early May and things are coming up fine. Snow peas in the back and right side rows now on July 4th are as tall as the wood stack and we will have some tonight in our salad.
