The rewards of gardening are surely here this year.
My tomatoes won't be ready for another week or two, but I have had peas,
potatoes, green beans, peaches (I just got the biggest kick out of watching
my wife and one of her friends walk by, peach juice dripping from their
chins while they were eating their peaches). My wife and I have also been
eating Zucchini nearly every day for the last month and a half or so, The
salad greens were great, and I still have several types of squash as well as
the corn nearly ready to eat.
As you say; This is a very rewarding year for gardening.

For the last forty plus years, I've looked forward to one of
gardening's most rewarding moments . In 2005, it happened this
morning.
Standing in the garden, having just picked the year's very first,
fully vine-ripened tomato, eating it out of hand, like an apple, while
it's still warm from the morning sun, and sharing it with my wife and
gardening partner.
Life is good.
