Growing like weeds

I am just amazed at how well our garden is growing. The last five years it has just been a weed patch that has occasionally been mowed down. We just had it rototilled and we're happily surprised at how nice the soil is. I know I am going to have way more vegetables than I can eat, especially since I'm the only one who will eat them but I plan to donate some of them to a local food cupboard this fall.

I was so happy to see my poppies open yesterday morning. My peonies should be opening in the next few days too. I just love spring and summer, I would happily trade snow for flowers blooming all year long.
