Everything is looking good except my Cherokee purples. I have about 5 ripening on both plants, they were full of blooms but now all the blooms are turning brown & falling off. Peppers (banana, red, orange, purple bells, jalapeños), cukes, eggplants, squash, zucchini, canteloupe, eggplants, & tomatoes (creole, better boy, celebrity, & romas) are all doing great.

I spent 150 bucks on my pepper garden. The brown spot blight took it over last week. I'll get one harvest and watch all my money burn down the drown after that.

Up here in NW La. we are experiencing the cloudiest, coldest Spring in 20 years. The lack of sunshine and cold temps are stunting the growth of my Thai peppers. I started them from seed and they are now 15 inches tall. They should be over 20 inches and starting to flower by now.
On a non food note I've got a new chain link fence section that needs some vines. A neighbor suggested I dig up some of the English Ivy growing by my house and transplant it at the fence.
I said Ivy needs a flat surface. He said as long as it doesn't get lots of sun and you help it wind into the fence by hand it will work. Any know if that's true?

Great. Been picking tomatoes, cucumbers and green beans. Although I think my green beans are already done.

For those gardeners who don't have a compost pile... start one. Best decision I ever made. This spring the worms from the pile have set up 'satellite' piles all over my yard. I noticed small areas of rich loamy soil where hard dirt used to be. I knelt down and scooped up a handful. It was loaded with worms. But the patches are 50 feet away from the compost pile. The little boogers are migrating out.
Every other day I put the soil from the patches in a bucket and return the worms to do more work. I'm harvesting about 20 pounds of rich soil per week.

Know if what is true?
Guiding it by hand? If so, yea it works. I did this with jasmine and now it's out of control in my crape myrtles. I've actually had to trim it back because some of the vines are thirty feet and still traveling

Well, I'm gonna give it a try. I've never seen English Ivy on a fence that doesn't have a flat surface. Experimentation is one of the great things I like about gardening.

Swiss Chard I use in place of lettuce on my sandwiches. Lettuce bolts really early up here.
Asparagus
Been harvesting for the last couple of months. This will probably be the last batch of the season. Homegrown asparagus is amazing!
Bells....have a few jalapenos too. Neither plant died back this warm winter which is shocking in Dallas.
My 3 box Compost Bin. The box on the left is finished compost.
I feel a fresh hop homebrew is in the near future...

Damn Zap looks good I need to give those asparagus a try
And are those the famous "no mow" hops?

Not sure how they do down there, but they are super easy up here. Its a perennial plant that comes back every year. I even have some planted in my No Mow Front Yard!

I've frozen 6qts of green beans and 4qts of squash so far. Probably have eaten or given away the same amount. My green beans are just about done, so I will probably pull them up in a week or so and replant some more.
Tomatoes are just starting to come in, and my vines are loaded.
Eggplants have alot of blooms, and my okra is about 8 inches tall.
