I uncovered all the beds and found 15 surviving leeks and 20 carrots. The leeks will probably mature, but the carrots may continue growing or simply go to seed. I do need some more carrot seed, so I hope at least one or two go to seed. I was bummed about uncovering the leeks too soon in March. A hard freeze followed and killed some of them, so I would have had more like 24 plants instead of 15. Oh well.
I also have one surviving cabbage which will go to seed. I have three or four surviving brussel sprouts which will all go to seed, so I yanked all but one (one is enough).
I planted 2-1/2 rows of carrot seed and 2 rows of red onion. Two more rows of red onion will be planted by the end of the first week of June. I also started a couple sets of jalapeno seeds indoors. Apparently, I should have done this in April. I guess I'm too busy for the details.
The parsley is producing nicely as are the chives. We've enjoyed some salads with these items already this year. The hop plant is springing back to life, but I have bags and bags of hops in the freezer from last year, but no time or money for brewing lately!
