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.

My garden is looking nice, but i'm not seeing any bees whatsoever, and i normally have a ton.
I know there's a large hive 2 houses down and across the street from me.
When my redbud tree bloomed in February there were literallly 100's of honey bees and bumple bees on it.
I think the parish came and fogged the neighbor hood about a month ago and ever since then i haven't seen a bee, and i've got vegetables flowering, tons of other flowers as well as hummingbird feeders.
Hardly any of my tomatoes flowers are turning into tomatoes right now.
I also learnt about blight on potatoes, as this is my first go at growing taters. Got me some Copper Fungicide and they look better already.

Amen to that. Saturday was 88 with a dew point of 68, ain't no way I'm ready for 5 straight months of even hotter temps
