Food from the garden

So yesterday we ate our first home-grown radishes of the year. For me, they were also my first home-grown radishes ever, but my boyfriend's father has a huuuuuge vegetable patch, so for him it's all normal. They were good. Tiny, huuuge (no "normal" size in sight), elongnated, with some weird bulges, spicy, crisp, and refreshing.
As I may have mentioned somewhere, we have a small garden (when I say small, I mean that it's about 3 by 3 m, if you'd chop off all the weird edges and combine it into an actual square) with a birch tree right in the middle of it giving us shade and singing birds and lots of leaves. We have a terrace with very uneven stones, a path to the gate at the back, two small patches of grass, some plants that are there because they look nice (and to attract butterflies and other insects), a wooden bench, a compost heap in which a hedgehog lives, and in the space that's left over, some fruit and veg.
We've been trying to grow several things in it over the years, with varying success. Last year we had potatoes, courgettes (3), tomatoes, a pepper (1), grapes, and loads of strawberries. The strawberries are the only thing that always seem to work. Those and the grapes are the only things that are permanent inhabitants, because we try something different every year.
So this year, we have radishes (grown in our little plastic glasshouses), strawberries (loads and loads of them, given the amount of flowers they're having right now), grapes, broccoli (4 plants), beans, tomatoes, rocket (these two haven't really been showing much action, we bought them as seeds, and we may not be the best at turning seeds into mature plants, although it did work with the radishes and the beans, but we may cheat on these ones and buy some actual plants that have been given a head-start), and one artichoke plant (because it turns out that they can get up to 1.5 m in height). In the beginning we did not want to grow too many things that actually have to come from the ground, because this isn't the best area and we don't know what people have done to the earth in the 92 years before I moved in, but now we've added so many things to it ourselves we feel a bit better about it. No idea what will actually work this time (the broccoli seems to be a favourite for some kind of snail, and as I said the tomatoes and rocket are kind of wilting), but just the idea of growing your own stuff is enough to make me happy about our little garden.
I can't wait (for more than one reason) until we have a bigger house and a bigger garden (which we will probably turn completely upside down) so we can actually have some sort of system that makes sense. At the moment, everything is just standing next to everything, our strawberries surrounding the rose plant, and our broccoli plants hugging the hydrangea (hortensia, for Dutchies). But as I said, it's already great at the moment, so it can only get better!
