75 tomato plants that are loaded with tomatoes. All colors and kinds.
25 pepper plants, mostly sweet and paprika starting to bloom heavily.
Tomatillo plants are loaded.
Winter squash, butternut variety, are starting to ripen the first batch. I’ll pick those, feed the vines, and they’ll grow and set another batch.
Growing about 10 varieties of soup/dry beans this year along with the asparagus beans (we love them stir fried), green beans and limas. Cowpeas too, 3 varieties.
Rice and tef in flats waiting to be set out this coming Monday and I plant my corn this coming Sunday or Monday (Jellicorse and Candy Mountain). Based on days to maturity the Jellicorse should tassel/silk about 2 weeks after the Candy Mountain.
Sweet potatoes I set out first week of May are running rampant. Raspberries are turning red and we’re picking a gallon or so of blueberries every day now.
Older pear trees and apple trees are loaded and we even have a couple cute peaches and plums on those trees we planted last year.
I have about 125 strawberry plants, different varieties and bearing periods, in big drink cups waiting to be set out in my front flowerbed/landscaping project sometime this month as well.
Lime and Calamondin trees have baby fruits and the banana trees I got for mothers day from Baker Creek are enormous. They were about 2” tall when I got them and now they’re nearly 3’ tall. We’ve had some hot days and I’ve got them in a warm microclimate. I also fed them the Apples and Oranges food from Urban Farms.
More stuff besides but that’s already really wordy so I’ll stop now.
We’re having pizza for supper topped with jalapenos (Goliath) I grew last year, hubby dug up, and we planted in containers that lived in the garage this winter under LED’s. Moved those out middle of April and fed them the good mojo and they’re covered with jalapenos and blooms both right now. Fresh garlic along with those jalapenos and some vidalia onions too. Mmmmm, dragon breath at my house tonight!

Wow!
I take it you’re a canner?
You are blessed with abundance. I got a packet of Jalapeno peppers with out the heat - Hubby can stand the heat. Maybe I’ll plant some and see if I can grow them in front of the patio this summer. Wonder how long a pepper plant can keep going?
Everyone told me that Basil wouldn’t grow - just an annual, but I kept on in a pot for almost 6 years, and it was all the fresh basil I needed and some frozen and dried as well.
So IOW you’re saying Neener, Neener, Neener? LOL.
Your post makes me feel like a slouch.
We’ve had too much rain here. Garden needs a redo. Sigh.
Wow, I didn’t know you were such a great gardener. What a wonderful, varied, huge garden.
