How does your garden grow?

Our garden grows kale very well.  Lettuce too.  We expected lettuce to grow in bushes (that's how we bought it, after all).  It's neighbor, kale, must have either taught or inspired it to grow in stalks.   
 

We might need to stake our lettuce to keep it from collapsing on itself.

Green onions are trying to take over. Maybe that's why our beans and snap peas did so poorly.

After 3 years of trying, we finally are able to grow basil.  This is after Sandi took the choppers to it to make pesto.  By the way, homemade pesto is very good; much better than store-bought.
 

We might need to give the rosemary it's own space.  We can think of a rose bush or two that would be happy to volunteer its space.

The entire herb garden needs a haircut.  We'll have to buy a whole hog to use up all the sage that is growing.

These peppers look better in photos than in real life.  We are kind of bummed they haven't grown bigger or turned red yet.

Sungolds: our favorite little tomatoes.

Bummer the rain split every single ripe/almost ripe tomato....
 

The large tomatoes are out of control.  We would love to harvest them but they won't ripen.
Living in close proximity to the Rose City has its advantages.
