Yikes!LOL. We have no tassels and no ripe tomatoes. Yes, we have no bananas either.LOL. We have finished transplanting everything, and are now direct sowing the remaining spaces.

One patch of corn is sprouting, and the others are not in yet. We start transplanting May 15, and continue direct sowing into June.

Have a great day.

I wish I was planting corn again this year. I tried it just for fun a couple of years ago - did a very small patch - and really enjoyed watching it grow. The kernels didn’t all fill, but I think it was the sweetest corn ever. Heirloom, bantum - or something like that I think.

This year hubby and I are planting just the things was use a lot of. Since our garden is not big at all, I won’t put corn in this year.

Our tomatoes are yet to be transplanted - upstate NY don’t ya know :). I started them from seed about three weeks late, but they are coming along OK if a bit slowly. All heirloom, which I am going to guess is partly why they come on slowly from seed. This is our first year of planting only from seed for tomatoes also. One variety took nearly four weeks just to sprout! I had given up on those, LOL, and then one day - there they were.

My peach tree is popping - which surprises due to the weird changes in weather. I’m netting individual peaches so that I can be sure to get enough to do a batch of jam. Last year the critters got every single peach.
