Pass the peas please...

Hi all! Well I just couldn't stand it, so I stopped by the garden this evening in the rain (2" so far) and just had to check out how our garden was doing and to make sure that it hadn't completely flooded. I really thought that the growth, as a result of the rain, would be evident after the rain had stopped and the sun had come out. How exciting to see how much everything has grown in two days!! We have peas now (yay!!) and our broccoli is 2-3" wide. The lettuce is crazy as is the swiss chard. The mustard has flowered which is ok because it is so pretty..the collards are still available for picking. The cantaloupe has sprouted along with all the beans that were planted. The basil is ready to be picked and made into pesto (another yay!) I just love our garden! It IS good!
