May Crops in the Community Garden

With all the heat, we've already had three salads out of the community garden, but the herbs (above) are still rooting themselves.

There are eight different varieties of heirloom tomatoes; my mom's garden nearby has eleven.

Here's our fecund salad bed, with lots of dill (upper left), chive volunteers and some happy-looking Swiss chard, plus tons of my fave, arugula.

And finally, the peas, sunflowers and a rather lovely clump of kale. Except for some of the herbs, most of the garden was started from seed, so it's very satisfying already.
