there were many but the standouts for me:
parsley
nasturtiums
zinnias (mid-spring sowing)
peas
tomatoes!

i am still in shock re: the tomatoes. i scarcely believed tomatoes would work at all. i got word quite late that i would have a community garden plot so my teeny tiny tomato seedlings did not go in the ground until june 7 (zone 6a). i felt silly, they were so small but they have since nearly caught up to the plants that were purchased nursery-sized. (the heat wave no doubt helped.) they certainly look healthier than most of the "full size" transplants, even if they are a bit behind in fruiting & ripening. i look forward to next year when i know i will have somewhere to put them, and can get them earlier.

photo is my black cherry that went from 6" to 2' in 20 days.
thanks to all, and trudi, especially
