WHAT a day!! I dug 5 of my volunteer potato plants, and harvested a small feast!! (pictures NEXT time, sorry)
What a surprise! 3 days ago there will flowers, but last night I was harvesting my very first crop of sugar snap peas!!

This is way early, but I have green cherry tomatoes, about pea sized to marble sized. Looking forward to a harvest before July 4th!!

Just ate my first 2012 beet crop last night, along with more potatoes that I harvested for my Sunday roast.
BTW, I just read the post re: uploading photos. I'll try to keep my pics at or under 800 pixels, now.

Everything looks beautiful! I guess I better put on my winter coat, and go check on my peas... I've got a lot of volunteer potatoes this year too. Gotta love them! Enjoy all your goodies.

Yesterday I dug up all 14 potatoes in the bed bc I have sweet peppers waiting to go in. I got about 15 pounds, total. Some were a little small, BUT, I have 20 other plants in other beds, which I'll harvest as needed.
