First Broccoli Harvest!

OOOHHHH, yummy! First harvest of broccoli came in today. Steamed and served with a little butter and lemon juice - what a treat! My younger daughter actually danced in her seat at how good her broccoli was! (Yes, she's 4 and she LOVES broccoli)

This was the second harvest of leaf lettuce. It's been very sweet and tender. I was concerned because the spring has been a hot one already.

Caged the early girl tomatoes today, before they get so big I snap vines doing it. I plan on planting most of the 2nd bed tomorrow.

The tomatoes are doing well.

Broccoli continues to do well and the lettuce is filling in.
