Memorial day update

Given the continuing cold weather I am surprised that there is anything in the garden but there are some successes and some failures.
Failures; carrot seed hasn't sprouted, onions are not really growing, peas for the most part are still being eaten by something and not growing. Arugula is half sprouted, the half that is sheltered by another plant is about 1/4 inch tall the rest are pinpoints, interesting. Chives are very thin and not as prolific as normal.
Successes: lettuce is doing well and delicious, romain is sprouting from last weeks planting. We've had a number of salads already. Kale and Collards are the winners and have provided, pasta, quiche, enchiladas and just plain. They are yummy. Leeks are slowly being ready and that is great since 30 leeks at the same time is more than I can handle. And Potatoes are growing well and look like they are happy.
All the herbs are doing well. Today is weeding and a bit of clean up. Looking at the basil seed and willing it to sprout!
