My Little Backyard Garden - end of March

I still can't even believe I am having garden updates in March.  Right now things are pretty low maintenance.  We did have to cover up the blackberries, blueberries and strawberries this past week because we had a frost.  It seems they made it okay.

A few of my blueberry bushes


My radishes are growing like crazy and the onions are getting taller.  The lettuce is doing well too.




Here is a little pot that I put lettuce and some carrots in


Blackberry bushes (just my second year on these)


My strawberries are really flowering


My chives are getting huge again.  I think I can now safely say that my lemon thyme, oregano, chocolate mint (in a different container not pictured) and parsley have come back.  None of them were suppose to come back in my zone (5) but we had a very mild winter so maybe that helped???


I could use your help.  What else do you do with chives?  I put them on baked potatoes but I'm not sure what else to do with them.  Do you have some ideas?
