This morning I picked several items from our garden--(clockwise from top) beets, swiss chard, spinach, sugar snap peas, oregano, arugula, and lettuce! I put all the fresh beet greens in a vase of water while cooking the beets. I think we now have plenty of ingredients for a salad!
Everything is growing well, and I especially noticed the fast growth when we returned home from our trips. It is hard to believe this is our 5th season of having a garden. I'll try to post some more pictures soon!

Beautiful! I think the lettuce in a vase is very pretty. :-D

They look really yummy. Where we are, we can only grow lettuces in the early spring and mid to late fall. I've never tried beets, but we've found that typically, root vegetables do not grow well for us. We have thought about trying them in raised beds, but so far haven't actually gotten around to it. Maybe this year....:-)
