How my garden grows!
Borage that self seeded from my planting last year:
Pea pods!!!!!
The pea forest:
Dew drop on pea leaf:
Broccoli crowns:
The fence and gate I built from scraps around the house:
The Three Sisters mounds -- I put corn in each and when it sprouts I will put beans in these mounds and then put squash in mounds in between these:
Tomatoes:
Peppers:
Lettuce:
And an overall view of the lower beds:

Today's Gregorism
I was fixing the chicken to put in the oven and she was demanding something or other for a snack. I said, "You need to be patient. Calm your little butt down!" She responded, without missing a beat, "You mean I should calm my little mouth down!"
Ya, well, that too.
The garden pays its taxes!
Today I harvested (in the process of thinning them) about a pound of baby carrots-- Greggie ate more than half of them as I pulled them and Alex finished them off after they were washed.
I also "harvested" a few handfuls of herbs for the roasted chicken and a cucumber and a salad bowl of lettuce.
And speaking of the garden, here are some shots from today:

Here you can see the rolling garlic bed with the broccoli volunteers. The avocado is behind the pink geranium, a couple of the potato pots are upfront, the lemon and orange are behind the potatoes.
Here is my first lemon!
The cucumber volunteers are stealing the limelight from the parsley seedlings.
Lettuce on the deck, finally looking like a salad!
Gregg mounded the wild and crazy potato box with hay.
The pole peas are finally heading up the teepees and trellis.
Some little tomato plants mixed in among the onions from seed. In the background, herbs, grapes, the peach and the pear.
The peaches are growing already!
The broccoli is starting to form heads.
Greggie thins carrots.
Carrotopia!
Glorious onions.
