re: How is everyone's summer garden looking so far?

Peppers are very easy and do well most places. You should be good. Just let them tell you when they need water. Just a bit of droop and you will know. Keep a record of when last watered and temp. Then you can kind of get an idea as you go along as how often. In Arizona naturally later in summer you will water more than now. Good luck. Plant some other stuff and see how it goes. Tomatillos do well in the southwest and are heat tolerant.

Can't tell you about pomegranate but peaches take a lot of work and care as well as spraying. Google up for your area.

My first year with them, plant is already 6ft. About 100 flowers so far, I expect good things.

Cool. Just a bit worried about mid-June to late August.
I'm guessing the strawberries and blueberries are pretty much done for the year. RIP. Do you think I can salvage the pomegranate and peach trees? Few leaves are attached. Maybe a little mound of fertilizer and water, water, water?

Thanks, I'll look into it.

I've got about ten plants and they are loaded. I'll make roasted salsa verde and can it. Good stuff.

Strawberries are getting late here or pretty much gone. But I have big blueberry bushes and they are loaded and not far off. I planted some blackberry vines along a fence and they are loaded down too.

I have 3 4x8 raised beds with:
6 Tomatoes (3 Goliath's and 3 Creole's
2 Black Beauty Eggplants
Half a bed of Provider Bush Beans
Half a bed of Dixie speckled butter beans
6 Pic-n-pic yellow squash plants
8 Crimson spineless okra plants
All of my tomatoes have small green fruits on them, and my eggplants have blooms on them. I have harvested close to 2 dozen yellow squash (plants are LOADED). My bush beans and speckled beans have canopied over and have blooms.

Well, to be honest, I asked them in November and bought the seeds then. I just got around to planting them.
I didn't think it mattered.

Got some good herbs going. Parsley, basil, oregano, etc

Just finished off the last of my winter romaine tonight.
Got 3 gallons of carrots I pulled a few weeks ago.
Planted snap beans there that just sprouted good.
Tomato's looking great, just a week or two away.
Bellpepper had some pest problems but looking better.
Other pepper are looking good.
Cucumber already has mildew disease
But pickling cucumbers doing ok. Picked the first few today.
3 or 4 eggplant about ready to pick
Already picked a few zucchini and plants are loaded.
Herbs are great, but parsley just went to seed
