Not pictured below, I harvested the last of the broccoli just in time before it flowered. Some of it already had, and aphids were starting to take over some of the foliage. Not surprising, as warm as it's been.

Corn is coming along nicely



Tomatoes are just ok. Wind beat them up pretty good a couple weeks ago. They're determinates, but still just did a lot of pruning of the lower branches.




Beans are climbing



Cucumbers are just about ready to start climbing.



A little dill in the foreground, onions behind that, and corn in the back. The onions are taking forever. I seeded them in early December, and the package said 80 days or something like that. And they're short day onions, and our day length is over 13 hours now. I thought the goal was to have them bulb before it got too warm.

I don't know why, but over here in NW Florida, my garden has it going on. I am picking green beans that are 7-8" long. My cucumbers are 4" long and 3/4" diameter, tomatoes are loaded, peppers setting fruit, strawberries doing great, blueberries are loaded. Squash is taking it's time. Watermelon and cantaloupe starting to vine. Picked a 1 pound lion's mane mushroom the other day, and one shiitake yesterday.

It has been a nice spring with cool temps. Usually it is hotter here at this time of year. I wish it would stay like this forever.
