34 taters !

Have come up so far , most are big enough to start hilling . I have red beets getting big enough to start thinning , but the spinach , lettuce , and bok choi aren't doing so well . I think probably because I used old seed that I had instead of poppin' for fresh . Live and learn , I'll be getting some fresh seed for a fall crop of salad fixins' .

Tomato and bell pepper seedlings are coming along nicely , they're going outside as temperatures permit . So far the yellow and acorn squashes are the only vine crops to come up . Melons , cukes , and pumpkins are still not showing any signs of germination . Not a big deal , I still have time to get fresh seed and plant outdoors instead of starting seedlings indoors . Strawberries are loaded , as are the berry bushes . Blueberries have set some fruit , blackberries are just starting to blossom . And there are lots of blossoms . It's still early , and Mother Nature will need to help , but I think I'm looking at a bumper crop year . I hope so , grocery prices are going out of sight !

Update - just a little while ago I noticed that the cantaloupe has produced (at least) one seedling . Mother Nature knows best ...

That's what I'm hoping. This afternoon, will start in-ground bedding of seeds doing well. Just waiting for Don to finish his noon-siesta. Seedlings doing well this year. Time to start the lettuce seeds and plant potatoes, just a few for a trial run.
