It is the end of May here in the Deep South.

I just did one of my many daily “tours” through the garden(s), and I saw:

Lots of green tomatoes on the tomato vines.

I saw miniature Ichiban eggplant on my container eggplant.

My larger eggplant variety has several blooms on it and has grown profusely in the last week or so.

There were cucumbers beginning to form on the vines.

The potatoes just keep sprouting up and needing to be hilled.

Also we have baby yellow squash and zucchini.

We have peppers, harvested a few hot ones already. Got some nice Big Bertha bells already getting large and green, great for STUFFING with some creole blend of sausage, meat and rice!

I had to plant later than usual this year in the outer (non container) gardens due to the late Spring and heavy rains.

But all is coming along nicely.

There are peaches and apples on the trees.

We have little tabasco peppers forming on the plants so I can make pepper sauce with those.

Cantaloupes blooming. Okra plants finally getting strong and shooting on up.

I am excited to have some new area to start this week with some later crops; have not decided yet what I’ll put there.

I’ve got four full rows of newly available space; what will I do with that?

Happy Gardening, and wishing you a bountiful harvest!
