In HH:
5 rows of corn are about knee-high, 5 rows are in the sprouting stage.
3 rows of lady peas and 3 rows of purple hull are sporting their second set of true leaves or more. Noticed brown aphids on a few plants.
The row of butter beans has tiny buds on them. Same with the 2 rows of beans : 1/2 row wax beans, 1/2 row harticort vert, 1/2 row blue lake bush beans, and 1/2 row bush contender green beans.
Radishes are big enough to harvest with a second batch sprouting. Carrots have finally sprouted, parsnips nowhere to be seen.
The mystery tomato starts are doing very well. I say mystery because labels got lost and I'm not sure what's what. There are Cherokee purple, sun gold, brandy wine, mortgage lifter, and sweetie cherry tomatoes in that bunch. Additionally from HD there are a black cherry tomato, a yellow pear, a solar fire and a better boy.
The basil patch has some sprouts that I moved so they wouldn't be crowded.
The compost pile has given us many, MANY volunteer tomato plants and other.....squash? Cucumber? Peppers?Hard to tell at first! They are sprouting up everywhere!
In AHP:
The first zucchini was picked yesterday! About a 1/2 pounder. The other zucchini and yellow squash have buds as does a cucumber. We had to replant some pickling cukes from seed because the starts had died.
All but 2 of the 19 sweet potato slips are thriving.
The jalapeño and poplano peppers have buds; still waiting for something from the sweet peppers
The bedding tomato plants that I put out 2 weeks ago are not doing so well. I only got 2 Romas and 2 Arkansas travelers to make it. More Roma and big red heirloom were planted. We'll see what happens.
Pumpkin and watermelon are up and beginning to vine. Sunflowers look healthy.
The herb patch needs a little more weeding, but the basil and cilantro have declared themselves.
