How doth your garden grow?

As for me, my pumpkins are my superstars right now. I got some jumbo max variety and the leafs are ginormous! The buds are forming already, but only the zucinis have actually flowered so far.

My peas are burning up, and the radishes have gone to seed, and the spinach is starting to bolt. The leaf lettuce is still doing ok, amazingly enough!

Bababerries and strawberries are turning red as we speak. Oh yeah.

I need totato cages! Anyone got any extra?

I had to go see where you are to have squash blooming already. I'm up in the mountains and the peas are still going strong, tho the tomatoes are blooming. the squash are just seedlings right now. But the bababerries are blooming ;-)

I have a few lil wee yellow pear tomatoes growing, and one little italian heirloom. The rest are still blossoms.

It's about time to start picking from the lettuce too. I'm picking a few peas here and there, and pulling up some carrots from this past Fall. Last Fall's onions are still developing.

Cucumbers, peppers, green beans, melons, green peppers, and potato plants are on a growing binge, but don't have anything to show yet.

Now that it's warmer things are really taking off. All the smaller fruited tomatoes are loaded with green fruit, though the larger ones have a few green 'maters they are now dropping blossoms due to the heat. The squash and melons are really taking off, potted potatoes are blooming. The peas are going by and coming out a section at a time. Lots of beans, okra, more melons, cukes, corn, sunflowers, quinoa, broom corn, popping sorghum all starting to come up. Oh and Malabar & NZ spinach too. The beets, brassicas and all the fall planted carrots are gone. There's a few spring planted carrots coming on, almost big enough to pick. Really have to work on the succession better next year.

I pulled down the dead and crispy peas, and moved the one remaining lettuce over to where they were.

Last season's carrots and onions are finally about ready.

The cucumbers have completely mobbed the tomato cages. You can't even see the tomato plants in there! Lots of male cuke blossoms, but no females yet.

I finally harvested one little yellow pear tomato. There a lots of big green ones though.

There's one huge and cracked Italian heirloom, that's finally changing color. But other than that, that variety pretty much burned up in the heat and didn't produce.

I harvested a few green beans. But while the vines are blooming, they don't seem to be producing much.

The peppers all have lots of blooms, but nothing there yet either.

I added tepary atop the potatoes. The potatoes appear to have died, and I don't think they every bloomed.

The only super star has been the charentais melon. Well, two of the four vines. I counted 7 babies on them. One of them is about as big as a baseball now.

The rhubarb is going great guns right now which the strawberries would ripen. Beans staring to take off after the rain. Hutch

Just because they didn't bloom doesn't mean they didn't make taters. You should dig around and check just to be sure. One of my potted ones got missed when watering and croaked in the heat, When I dumped out the pot there were 5 little purple new potatoes.

My little tomatoes are turning red too. They are so soft and juicy, it is such a shock to go from store bought to home grown, isn't it?

I'm jealous, mine are still green.

I went treasure hunting yesterday and came up with nothing. My potato growing experiment is officially a bust. :c (
