I've picked about 2 dozen cucumbers, but no tomatoes other than a few cherry ones. Not worried because every plant has about 6 or 7 green tomatoes on them. I guess it's the cold fronts we had a few weeks ago.

Picked some cucumbers and banana peppers. My garden looks like crap. Weeds everywhere. Working every day for weeks sucks.

Yup....



Yeah, picking some grape/cherry tomatoes. Give it a week and I'll have some creoles in the kitchen.

No cucumbers yet and just a few peppers for me.

I have to have the worst tomato plants on the OB. Either the GrazonNext I sprayed in yard has REALLY long residual or the manure I put wasn't quite as aged as I thought and the plants have nitrogen burn.

Dammit. You guys go post in my garden thread on the food board.
Why are my lemons doing so much better than my oranges and grapefruit?

Only harvested one BB so far (cool spring certainly set things back)and lots of grape/cherry tomatoes. Have harvested some of the best peppers and cucumbers I have ever grown, beans setting, asparagus done. I have pretty much moved to 100% better boy...never had really good luck with heirlooms. Chicken manure and blood/bone meal does the trick for me. Shaping up to be a great year. Have managed to be home most weekends so have kept up with weeds so things look good so far. Satsuma and navel trees look loaded.

Mine aren't ready yet. Those cold nights lasting so long up here in NWLA held them back but they are going ape shite now. Should be harvesting a few in a couple weeks.

Really can't wait to get my first Cherokee Purple of the year. That's the best tasting tomato you will ever put in your mouth. Just amazingly good flavor.

Picked a few dozen cherries and a few big boys. On my 4th picking of green beans-they're pretty much burnt up now. Bell peppers and cucumbers looking good. Eggplants look lame.
