The fava beans are looking good. They average 10 -12 inches tall now with just a couple runts. The empty spot, which would be third from the right front, was caused when one of our cats jumped down from the top of the fence behind the favas and landed square on one. It never recovered.

The eleven year old fennel plant starting to wake up. I always thought fennel was an annual, but back eleven years ago we planted fennel with the idea of using the bulbs. I left this one in the ground when we took down the garden in the fall just to see what would happen and it has stayed with us all these years. Just cut it down to the ground at the end of the growing season and it has come back every spring. It grows about 7 ft tall! This one plant has produced amazing amounts of seeds - much stronger and sweeter in flavor than store bought in spice jars.

These next three pics are our Norton/Cynthiana wine grape vines. They just started leafing out this week. Last year they started mid March but the long colder than normal winter we had let the vines sleep in a little longer.
