Looking at all of your posts, I got jealous,lol
So, went out and watered all I have. Funny, they said it would rain and then no rain in sight,lol

Please be patiewith me because I do not eat vegetables at all. So,with that being said, I got questions:

Seems like the head lettuces want to do something but they are not sure. They are not dried and I see new leaves in the middle.

Broccoli, they are kind of getting taller. Do not see any flowers. When would I know they will give Broccoli?

Leave lettuces, they are looking pretty good. There are a few that are kind of plumpy,lol When do I know to pull leaves?

Peppers are growing.

Tomatoes, some are pretty thick. Will need more yarn to keep them up. The new growth needs support.

Sweet onions. I have no clue as to what to expect. Will they flower? How do I know when to pull them?

My poor 5yr old raspberry bush is barely giving fruit. 😫 I might need to buy a new one. Poor thing is still alive and is old now that it has a better home!

Blackberry, low sugar. Really good, not a sweet bomb. I can actually taste the blackberries. She's still canning, I think she's canning whole blackberries though in quarts best I can tell.

Squash is ridiculous, it grows like a foot a day in all different directions. I have no idea how I'm going to pick this patch. 8 foot in between rows, they say 🙄.

Do snakes like to hide in squash patches and can squash truly ever have enough room?

Nice work there 👍 I've often thought about raised beds. But only did them once for asparagus at my father in-laws so he wouldn't mow the asparagus down..

Last evening, watering new seed planting, then checked other plants. There they were!! Two hornworms on my tomato plant 🤨😡 dispatched at once, checked for more. So this morning, soap water and cayenne spray! Tonight, blue light inspection.

Arrrrggggh! :somad:barnie only one plant but, ya know how they travel. :he. Have BT also.

On a good note, first actual open blooms on green beans.😊👍

Daylight and 71 out there...better get going!
