Cut some lettuce and parsley for a salad, 3 huge cucumbers, 2 squash, a ton of green beans, jalapeno peppers, and a few cherry tomatoes so far.

New lemons are coming in, almost half size. A Ton of Granny Smiths almost ready, a bunch of baby figs and pears. Orange and grapefruit trees just chillin so far.

Three cucumbers and some banana peppers so far.

Green beans and corn ain't did worth a crap. Squash, tomatoes, and eggplant looking good.

Weeds are growing at an outstanding rate.

Getting a fair amount of tomatoes, peppers coming along. Was swamped with loquats a few weeks ago, but those seem to have dried up. Herbs are phenomenal this year, makes me rethink selling the place anytime soon.

You must be far north of Louisiana for lettuce at this time of the year along with apples.

Japs and tomatoes are loaded, picked and pickled some japs already.

Have about 30 myer lemons on the tree but they are still green and on the small size.

Have some Cajun red bell peppers coming in also.

Avocados have nothing, starting to think they may not fruit this year

My tomatoes are just under 2 feet tall (from seed that's about right). Re potted from medium containers into biggest containers yesterday.

Jalapenos had to be re started when first batch of seeds rotted in the cold temps this spring. Second batch is now 4 inches and ready to move from smallest containers to medium sized.

Crepe Myrtles have powdery mildew. Found some sprays on the internet but can't find them at Walmart. Guess I'll have to go to a nursery.

Rosemary bush is doing great. Used some in chicken noodle soup this week. I've never watered it because I was told they like dry feet unless you get a really long drought. We've had plenty enough rain this spring.

Roses are having BEST spring ever. All the neighbors having the same good luck. They must like cooler temps.

Painters are coming to do exterior this week and they want to rip out my English Ivy. I know the stuff is bad for wood but mine is growing on brick and looks great. Told them just to cut it back by half.
