It's so exciting to be growing things! Our paw-paws have spring back to life after a long winter dormancy, and have now grown in about 4 weeks about as much as they grew all last year:



And here's the garden:



There's no missing the rhubarb (which is much smaller now, as our first rhubarb pie of the season is in the oven). But here are some closer views.

From right to left, we have two rows of strawberries, a line of parsnips (the exposed dirt in the picture, since they're still very small), and then, in front of and behind the rhubarb, two broccoli, two cabbage, 6-7 garlic, and cilantro:



Also in the previous picture, but hard to see, were another cabbage (front), two collard greens (middle), and a brussels sprout (smaller, in the back) (the other, smaller plants are garlic and cilantro):



I was going to include a picture of our 7-8 tomato plants and 4-5 pepper plants, but they don't really show up against the mulch very well.

Then on the far left, here is spinach (didn't germinate very well, in the farther left row) and a salad mix (going great guns, in the second row in):



While we were outside, we played with Oliver, who also found a "friend":
