How does your garden grow?

Unlike Czamama we do not have great soil. We also had a lousy wet spring and a busy distracted gardener. So things are a bit slow to get growing around here. We are eating garden carrots, lettuce and strawberries. The kale is huge ( we eat that too) and the hops are taller than the house. This weekend we will take the summers first harvest off the pie cherry tree on the hill. Even with the setback a few things are looking very happy.
