New shoots, o Joy

Over a dozen corn plants and 13 or 14 asparagus plants in the vegetable bed. The lettuces are flourishing, same with the rhubarb. There's even a couple of beans and peans sprouting, the seedlings just mere flecks against the soil. Over at the deck, the first dill and basil shoots showed up yesterday. The basil looks like it's been frostbitten - brown spots have appeared on the previously healthy leaves. But the coriander and parsley are thriving. I hope to have the herb pots just bursting with herbs in a month or so.

I believe these are basil, below:



And these tiny slivers of pale green must be dill:



Yellow or green bean coming up:



Tiny asparagus, looking almost military:



A purple asparagus cosies up to a bunch of stalwart corn:



And more corn:
