Then I did some weeding and deadheading of the perennials:
And then I headed to our basement to the tomato plants I started back in March:
And added them to our garden! I also made a mini-support for my peas with stakes and some string. In the front left you can see the arugula which got HUGE over the past few days:
Here's one of my tomato transplants. GROW tomato, GROW!!:
Oh yeah....and here's that arugula all picked and ready to be washed and spun:
Tossed with some lemon juice, good olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper...this accompanied our yummy steak dinner:
Let me tell you...that arugula salad was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! And it was so awesome to know I 'made' that from a seed the size of a, well, a seed!!
What garden fresh items are you most looking forward to this summer?

Bonus picture: I had to take a picture of what was going on in the living room while I got dinner ready:
