Greens are growing, ants ate all the strawberries, waiting on everything else.

Why? This is a good one for it. Gardening threads fit here, Food and Outdoor boards.

I picked a five gallon bucket of pole beans and about a half gallon of sugar snap peas this morning in the rain.

This rain will do wonders. No matter what you use rain water is gods nectar.

Picked a few small tomatos, half dozen cucumbers so far. Squash, peppers, watermelon, tomatillos, okra and peas blooming nicely. My tomatos don't look as good as last year but I'm working and coaxing them along.

Already had first harvest of snow peas and beans.
Jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, cayenne, tabasco, and ghost have flowers. Yellow, green, andhabamero still growing strong.

Zucchini and cucumber have fruit! Just got the first few buds on the eggplants too!

Had 3 harvests on all the herbs already....it's gonna be a great year!

how long do okra usually take? I planted them late and have never done them before.

Food board as well, just see it getting off track here, quickly.


Beans and peas are about a week and a half out, been cutting broccoli like crazy, cauliflower next week, tomatoes next week, onions whenever I want, replanting spinach and lettuce in a rotation, have two Cuban belles ready, and several jalapeños.

Anything good to plant right now?

Tomatoes and corn are doing just fine but I have another half of the garden to plant.

Pole beans will come up pretty quick and can take the heat and will produce all summer.

Plant cucumbers too. I just put in lemon cucumber from seed. They will do well. Plant some tomatillos. I love roasting them and making salsa verde.

peppers and okra love heat so you can plant them now and they should thrive all summer

Some good, mostly bad. Don't know why.

Beets and Broccoli not too good.
Cabbage, semi good.
Carrots, not sure because I haven't pulled them.
Cauliflower, a little slow. The Lettuce is getting eaten by bugs.

we are about to move back into an appt from our rental house. im afraid that the 4 hours of morning sunlight will not be enough for our plants and they will all die.

anyone have any experience with this?

am i going to kill them all?

First time planter here. So I take it that banana peppers and jalapenos would be alright in the AZ heat and grow pretty fast? The garden is actually shaded from extreme sun for 1/2 the day (sunlight hours) and watered every morning.

Kind of cool watching everything sprout up

Pomegranate and peach tree aren't doing all too well...
