How Does Your Garden Grow?

Well, I'm still not convinced that we're in for a stretch of nice, warm, sunny gardening weather, yet what we have is what we've got!

My garden is growing nicely...but please don't tell the rabbits! So far, I've had a deer prune three of my broccoli leaves and a couple of nasturtiums, but that's all.

What have I learned by taking on this project? I've been reminded that lettuce seed is the first to come up, and the first to bolt (set seed itself). I've observed that location really is important, especially for tomatoes! I luckily put mine in pots, and after moving them three times seem to have found a spot that is sunny enough. But the biggest lesson I've learned is that if I could only eat what grows in my garden, I'd be a lot thinner! (And I'd probably figure out how to grow more things year 'round.)
