Not much going on over by me. Just been picking squash, zucchini, and cucumbers waiting on everything else to turn. That probably means it's all going to happen at once 
. Here are some photos:
Gypsy peppers. These are so much bigger than the Gypsy peppers I've grown in the past.
Pretty big Fred's Tie Dye:
Big beefs:
Dingus squash. Side note - those that have grown these before? When do you pick them? I was thinking about just letting them continue to grow because of the novelty of the whole situation.
Sugar baby watermelons. No cantaloupes on the vine yet. Maybe a pollination issue, but I've had good bee activity.
Pickling cucumbers and sweet success cucumbers:
Trellis starting to look like a tunnel:

I've picked them that size and let them get a lot bigger. I picked a 4 footer last year and grilled strips of it or threw in the air fryer. From what I've read you can treat them like any other summer squash as far as cooking if you pick them before the rind hardens. I let two or three harden off and cooked them the same as butternuts or other winter squash. They weren't bad but the flavor wasn't as good as a butternut or candy roaster.
This is from last year, they were great at this size.
[/img] Your squash tunnels are looking awesome. I need to invest in legit cattle panels. Right now I'm using a mix of welded wire mesh and old chain link gates I found on the curb.

Dang y’all stuff is looking beautiful! 
I need to get in the garden this week. I’ve been so busy with work and other stuff that I’ve kinda neglected it the last week. I do have some blueberries starting to come in, and I picked my first few tomatoes yesterday. I’ll try to get some pics sometime this week.

Your cucumbers are doing way better than mine. They're not setting much fruit. Tons of flowers and they're taller than 6' though.
