The first pea flower opened on the pea plants so it does really feel like the growing season is well under way. I actually have two flowers on the sweet peas that I planted in the fall - they aren't open yet, but they are going to be red!! I love it! The greens continue to produce well and we're getting a bit sick of beet greens after thinning the beets last Sunday. The carrots are one crop I'm a little concerned about - they are growing, just not well. The zucc and squash have been slow and heat will help immensely. The tomato plants all look healthy. Garlic scapes are beginning to appear. In the perennial border, the Siberian irises are at their peak and the daylilies are setting up for their big show. The smell of roses is everywhere along the roadsides; a joy when hiking or biking!
