It is wonderful to see my garden growing and I have almost every vegetable you can think of planted. My garden is about 20' X 10' so it cannot hold too much of anything.... but still a good size.
I always plant lots of green peas for Oscar and boy he knows it. When I ask him to come to the garden with me, he just cannot wait to go. The peas are not ready yet as they are only a few inches out of the ground but that doesn't stop Oscar. He wants to eat the leaves and not just the juice from the leaves but he loves the leaves.
His second favorite is the grapevine I have growing which actually produces grapes. Not enough to make wine but enough to eat by hand.
His next favorite is the dill weed. For some reason he loves breaking up the stems of dill weed and that is okay because it is growing wild in the garden.
Don't you just love spring time? For those who's winter is coming.... sorry... for bragging but I only get a few months a year... so I must celebrate each precious day.
My apartment complex offers a small resident garden area-- each resident who wants one gets a row about 5 x 25 feet. Since I do the general gardening at the complex (10 acres of flowers, trees and shrubs), I don't have the time to take proper care of even a small vegetable garden any more. 
I just have four tomato plants growing in large pots on my balcony, and they're growing beautifully, much better than the ones in the resident garden rows. Too much rain over the past month has been detrimental to gardens and farms in upstate New York. I do miss my garden row though-- like you, I always grew peas (first for George, then for Ralph), along with a few other things I could fit in the space.
