Woohoo!

The grape tomatoes from my sister are total cuteness today.

And these must be jalapenos (?), but I don't remember planting jalapenos at all. They will be eaten, that is for sure.

Lookin' good, peas, lookin' good. I flopped the plant to and fro in order to get this photo. What do people traditionally give their peas to cling to? Mine cling to quackgrass and weeds.

Seeds are alive!

And it always, always seems like magic when it happens. After my sister-in-law gave us all those seeds, I planted them with abandon, thinking it's been a wet year so far so maybe I'll get some nice, low-maintenance veggies.

These little cuties were first. I have three and I'm hoping for more.

They're sweet peas. I love eating new peas, and I can't wait for my four-year old to be able to enjoy this treat for the first time.

I also have three little green bean plants of varying heights. Three plants out of the approximately forty, six-year old seeds I planted.

There aren't any above-ground signs yet from the billion carrot seeds or the few broccoli seeds that I planted.

My meteorologist crush Jim Cantore (no! not J. Walter Weatherman) calls for rain all week, but it hasn't arrived (grrr), so I'm watering these as I type.
