Our Usual Vegetable Garden planted on 5-30-09

This is the first year I have planted heirloom plants and heirloom seeds. The seeds germinated faster than others we've used in the past and the plants from The Tasteful Garden that I planted in my herb garden are much larger than the ones we usually use (as in our usual garden).
