Garden Update

I've meant to do a garden post by now and have not and now the garden is well... growing!!   Thanks to our extra warm spring things are really doing well.   I'm trying a few new things this year.
This a view of all the bachelors buttons that came up on their own very early this spring and are doing very well!  Chives in the background, no longer blooming.
Overlooking from the peonies, which didn't last very long sadly.    
So far have been picking lots of lettuce and spinach!   Herbs too, chives, cilantro and oregano all came in very early and doing well!
Lettuce and spinach are hiding behind the peonies and herb box behind that.
Broccoli from seed, parsley from seed behind it and carrots and onions on the side.
Looking down a row peas, more carrots and onions in between and more peas by the big fence.  Peas are almost ready, finding lots of pea pods the past few days.
Swiss chard looking good.   This is new to me this year.   Haven't picked any yet but need too soon.   Going to try and freeze it too.   And that's cilantro that has already gone nuts and flowered leaning on the swiss chard.
What the pictures don't show is the many, many... too many tomatoes I planted, corn, green beans, eggplant and some other things I'm sure I'm forgetting.    Now if I could just keep up with it all!!
