forgot to start one this year, and i'm guessing more than the usual folks are doing a bed or three this year.

Most of mine died off in a late frost, so had to start over. Nothing near ripening yet, but going to have a great cherry tomato crop. Wish I could say the same for the larger varieties. Not looking good at all.

got a few tomatoes and a bunch of green and yellow beans, its getting closer though. another few days and ill have Sheppard peppers, watermelon's, and more tomatoes than I know what to do with (not really, ill make sauce) have cucs that are failing, they were badly peppered with hail a couple times.

Built a greenhouse this spring while on lockdown, so I'll have tomatoes, but they are all still green. Peppers looking good too. Outside I have potatoes, brussel sprouts, green beans, carrots, parsnip, asparagus, strawberries and blueberries. All looking good but too early for any harvesting yet. The blueberries are something new I'm trying, in a raised bed. Blueberries grow here wild really well, but i was curious to see if I could grow the larger high bush types.

Yeah cherries are hard to not do. We're doing just ok on the big ones, the heirlooms are the worst. But with 15 plants in the ground we'll make it.


I want to do an in ground greenhouse, with water capture system. Plus if I can find an old radiated I want to do that using geothermal heat.

we were given some 'October beans' aka cranberry beans. They are great as green beans but also as dried. I let enough go for a small batch with dinner and or course next years seeds.
