I got my first harvest of the year yesterday: chives from the plant I received at the Southern Tier plant swap last year. Thanks!

I've got chives too! Also have used some Tarragon for an herb tart last week.

Wished I planted lettuce.

RE: First harvest!

I covered my Salad Burnet with plastic this winter and it overwintered in the garden, so I have been using it in tuna salad since the snow melted enough so I could get to it. Now it is flowering, so I moved it to a flower bed rather than tilling it in. Did not realize it was hardy to zone 3 - a pretty and tasty plant (stems and leaves taste like cucumber).

I've been harvesting arugula, lettuces, chives, tarragon, thyme and even brocolli rabe! I love gardening, everythign tastes so much better when you grow it yourself.
