We are starting to get some squash. Green beans and tomatoes are close. Cucumbers and eggplants are behind. Potatoes have a while to go to harvest. But reLly surprised at how slow my peppers are growing this year. They are usually the best. Will post some pics in a minute.

My peppers are super slow this year as well

We did mostly flowers this year, but we stuck some tomatoes, carrots, sunflowers, and lots of lettuce heads in there. The final pic is of the wildflower bed. That spot is right against the south fence, so it gets zero direct sun until about the beginning of May. We gave up on trying veggies there for that reason.

Good deal. I put all of my garlic and onions up today. And pulled my first tomato. Tis the season!!

Transplanted my plants into their final pots. Put the best ones in 5gal and the leftovers in 3gal. Put my overwintered habanero in 7gal, he got rootbound in a 3gal in one month!

Man I’m getting old. Looking forward to starting a garden at our forever/retirement homestead in a couple of months. I’ll definitely be back for some advice

First year planting and first “harvest”
Red Potatoes, kale, sugar snap peas, cilantro (was being overtaken by zucchini), yellow squash, zucchini and a couple of 2015 onions. Going to add another raised bed next year to put all the squash varieties in it and away from fence. Tomatoes and peppers are still real slow, guess that’s normal?

What’s y’all’s take on a purple chili pequin plant? Chili’s have been on the plant for about a month. Stayed purple the whole time. New chili’s are going from green to red. Will the purple ones turn red too, or are they done? I don’t want to pick them too early, but I’m tempted to so they don’t go bad or cause the plant to slow down. With as early as it is in the season, I have buckets more chili’s that will come off this plant, so...pick em or let me sit until red?

Pick them. It was prolly a little cool when they put on. My japs do it in the fall when temps start to drop. They will still taste like peppers.

If you get sick, blame it on the Covid

Dang. I picked 175. Probably that many more purple ones left on the plant that will ripen this week then all the peppers that I think will turn red afterwards.
