Our garden is really taking off. Warm days and scattered rain here near Philly the past couple of weeks. We re-did our raised beds so we got a bit of a late start and kept it small this season. Radishes and lettuce ready, many green tomatoes (5 kinds) and cucumbers starting, herbs look great. Raspberries (technically these are the neighbors, but they've happily encroached) are covered with beginning fruit. Planted 5 zucchini seeds, 4 took and the plants are HUGE! Watermelon vine is going strong. The only things not looking good are the peppers, and they usually do great with no attention at all, so I'm not sure what is going on there.

We had our first salad from the garden tonight -

Great pic. Looks yummy. Now I feel guilty that I had ice cream for dinner.

Thanks for the picture. My indoor peppers didn’t do diddly this winter either. Usually pretty prolific. C’est la vie.

We had our first regular size cuke today. Sliced it and some onion and put it into a near empty sweet and spicy zuke pickle.

Had salad with indoor cherry tomatoes, and the zuked cukes and onions and shredded Gouda cheese for supper.
