We're just now picking tomatoes from the Early Girl and Better Bush plants I put in the last week of February. The cherry tomatoes have been producing as well. I also put in a few more Better Bush and some Celebrities in early April, so they have some time before they are ready.

Had a darn tomato fruitworm on one of the plants this afternoon. Fortunately the little critter hardly did any damage. Caught it just in time. Also had some problems with some pinworms. They were attacking some of the leaves on the younger plants and then a couple of smaller tomatoes on those same plants. Hopefully, I have them under control now.

This week we've had zucchini, some green beans, basil, oregano and parsley. Looking forward to the tomatoes ripening soon.

We also got 3 ghost peppers about three weeks ago and now the plant isn't doing anything. Not sure why.

Yum....I still have to wait a bit for the summer veggies.

I have had mixed results with peppers. Not sure why. They always look healthy but some years they don't produce for me.

We always have geat luck with jalapenos but our bells don't get very large. They are still awesome tasting, but just not big. We have to use 2 or 3 per person if we want stuffed ones.

Lettuce, blueberries and black raspberries.

Other than the lettuce, my other veggies are all small babies. There are still a few more months to go, though.

herbs , many kinds; cherry, grape and roma tomatoes, green beans and 2 or 3 kinds of squash. I will leave the jalapenos on the plant until next week. We already have about 1/2 doz in the fridge from a few days ago.
