How's the vegetable garden looking this week - May 21

I stopped by the garden today to pick peas and lettuce for dinner.  I don't have pictures of dinner but I made bow tie pasta with a cream sauce with peas and diced ham.  Simmer cream for a few minutes, added fresh shelled peas and heritage hog diced ham.  Pour over bow ties and add parmesan cheese.  Had a salad of lettuce, arugula, spinach, mustard greens and radishes.  Made a vinaigrette with smooshed garlic and salt, dijon mustard, sherry vinegar and olive oil.

Here are some pictures from the vegetable garden today

Fava beans. I can't wait for these!
