Been trying to get to work in the garden today, but have other pressing issues. So far, everything is doing great. I am close to having to tie the tomato stalks to the rebar I used when I planted. Lots of flowers and the same with the cucumbers.

Amen to your tagline. Had hoped we’d get something the last couple days but that didn’t happen. They’re saying maybe Sunday but not holding my breath.

Yours are further along than mine. Saw one flower on a tomato. IIRC, you put out cuke transplants whereas I just sowed the day of the big storm so all mine got washed into the low corner. The broccoli and cauliflower never came up so need to sow some cantaloupe or maybe see if the very old okra is still viable. Did dig a couple holes there for a potato that had sprouted in the kitchen so we’ll see. Weeds have never been this bad so that’s taking a toll. Lost 3 tomatoes from hubby’s truck parked too close to them and one pepper from who knows what. Beans, peas, squashes, asparagus, corn, etc. all doing fine. Having onions and salad greens on the table.
