The garlic that survived the winter is uncurling, starting to look better, even if only about half made it through. My snow peas are a few inches high, the cucumbers have just broken the surface, and I only got pumpkin seeds into the ground a couple of days ago. Some of the sunflowers are 4-5 inches high already, though, and I've got strawberries flowering (and spreading out into areas I normally mow). And I still haven't gotten the beans in yet.

Going with dad out to a garden supplier type this morning; he wants to pick up some pre-started tomatoes and peppers and whatnot for the bed he put in.
