Yeah, I’m not pruning until I have to. They’re all setting fruit now.

Oh don't get me started. It is to be 95f this weekend and I have not seen flowers yet.

We’re going the other way right now. The night time temps are still going down to like 44 every few days and I’ve had cucumber/melon starts damp off and die on me like 4 times now, lol. Oh well. I’m getting zucchini and tomatoes by the bushel in a few weeks.

That is just teasing! I have 32 tomato plants that just have to do some good. Oh well. Maybe in a few weeks from now..

You’re probably a week behind me if you’ve got flowering like crazy. About 7:30 every morning an entire colony of bumble bees shows up and begins buzzing Motsart, it’s hilarious to watch. I counted 30 in 1 bed this morning.

Zone 8a. Are you 8b or 9?

8B. I usually put transplants out between April 15 and May 7th, depending on forecast.

We were out in May this year. I cannot say when. Not later than mid may though. Crazy long spring this year. Here are squashes at 93f about to make me open a meat and 3 drive in to make up not having maters yet. The white leaf look is beetle dust. And I am going to take a picture of a tomato leaf and get your opinion about something after a while.

Those are muscadine and scuppernong(sp?) and a small fig to the left.

Pepper Gogoshar began to blush.

Cherry pepper.

Large barred boar tomatoes putting on size quick. These were our favorites last year.
