The Mrs planted around 160 onion sets which are coming along really nice, along with radish and carrots. We have several different varieties of tomato plants sprouting this year, plus okra sprouts. Apple, peach and plum trees are in bloom, and my papaya is coming back strong after the real light excuse we had for a freeze this past winter. Peppers? No problem, they have been going strong in the greenhouse for the last 5 years.
I still need to pull, cook, and can the kale and cabbage. Then, it'll be time to dump more manure on the beds.

I'm really hoping for some heavy rain. We're in our 3rd year of drought.

I hope you get the rain you need. Those peppers that have been going strong for 5 years? Do you mean the same peppers have been growing that long, or do you mean that you have successfully grown pepper plants from seed the last 5 years(new plants each year?)?
