I have lettuce still growing, as well as cilantro that I planted in the fall. I also planted chard and peas, although the peas haven't done very well this year. They're so unpredictable, some years I get a great harvest and some years they don't quite get going before it gets hot. I'll try again in the fall! Fresh peas are so delicious that they're worth it even if we don't get a great harvest.
We have to wait a couple of weeks to buy plants, but the local farmer's market started today and they had a wonderful array of plants to choose from, so I'm sure I'll find what I'm looking for once we're ready.
I planted some herb seeds a few days ago so hopefully I'll have some parcel (parsley that has a celery flavor) and hyssop growing soon. I also got a few herb plants at the Madison Museum's Herb and Plant Sale last weekend, which I finally managed to pot on Friday with my husband's help. My oregano is growing great guns and the thyme is coming back nicely, so I'm looking forward to eating new potatoes with fresh herbs as soon as I can buy them at the farmer's market.
