Plants are growing at a very fast pace right now.  I finally have some sugar snap peas to harvest, but just a handful so far.  And 2 strawberries!  They were delicious.  Aiden raced me out to the garden to pick snap peas, he loves them!

All of the vegetable plants made it through the recent low temperatures. This morning just before sunup, it got down to 17.6 degrees F.

Brussels and broccoli did get some damage, but they should survive.
