Tomatoes, bell peppers, potatoes, and eggplant going in the ground this weekend, and squash, sweet potatoes, and snap beans going in next weekend.

I put in a dozen tomato plants, 4 each of black beauty and Ichiban eggplant, a half dozen jalapeno, same amount of bell peppers and just got done putting in pickling and slicing cucumber seeds and Japanese Yard Long bean seeds along my trellises.

I will also put in a row of soybeans and some beets in a couple days.

I love zucchini and yellow crookneck squash but the squash vine borers take them out pretty fast in my area. I've tried sprays, home remedies and bulk planting to no avail as the borers always get in the stems and kill the plants right after I get a small harvest.

I will also be putting in okra seeds for about 50 plants in a couple weeks. I NEED to have my okra every summer.
