Everything’s growing here too. Corn and tomatoes are about a foot high. I had to replant some of the green beans though; I think my son put them to deep. I’m going to have a regular jungle soon. I had to put dirt banks around everything in order to be able to flood, which I will have to do every 2 or3 days soon once everything is deep rooted. The problem here with the hot and dry weather is keeping the ground wet and then putting shade screen to cover the tomatoes. It could be well over 100 degrees by June.
I measured, staked and pulled strings to get straight rows, even measured between plants, and it shows now that everything’s up. I hid all the evidence and no one needs to know how I did it. They would just laugh at me anyway.
I have a lot of different kinds of peppers and squash this year. Some radishes are ready to eat.

It's been unusually cool these past two weeks.
We got a frost last night, probably our last.
I'm looking for some warm weather now.
My tomatos are looking good and ready for planting in the beds next week.
The onions are up and ready for thining.
I love a good scallion.

Vivian planted 18 tomato plants (actually 22 as some had two in them), nine jalapeno plants, nine broccoli plants and eight different lettuce plants, head and romaine. She's got seeds she's going to be starting this week, squash of different varieties, peas, green beans, cucumbers, watermelon and some pumpkins! She's thinking about some green onions and potato's also. She's already got some tomato's on her little plants....hope we have a good yield!

Aslanspal, she surely does!
She has several more tomato plants with little maters on 'em as of yesterday. Everthing seems to be doing well and perking back up since they were transplanted.
gb, it's been in the upper 90's here last week, and then this morning right at 42. Had to turn the heater on again. It hasn't been on for almost a month! Three days last week we had the air on....Boy, talk about a temperature contrast in one day!

109 degrees today; we broke a record. The spinach surrendered so I tilled in under, but everything else in green and growing. We had a lot of rain this winter and the weeds in the desert are real high and the bird population has really increased, but now that everything is dried out the birds are getting desperate for food and water. I was totally surrounded with squawking birds watching me water the garden. I had to go buy $40.00 worth of netting to cover the tomatoes that they are starting on already.
My whole garden is going to give a high yield and being that the pepper plants are really putting on the fruit and since I have a Mexican lady with three sons that I sort of adopted that live on the five acres next to me I decided to put in a gate between our properties for easier access. She doesn’t speak English, but she knows I like her old fashioned cooking and is happy to send some dishes back my way. They are so grateful for anything I do for them and to me the authentic Mexican food is like being paid back in gold.
The last time I grew this many green beans and tomatoes it was quite a challenge trying to keep them picked, we could easily spend most of the weekend canning and freezing and the next weekend its time to pick again. It’s been three years though since our last garden and I not complaining.

Alcott,
I grew cantaloupe a few years ago and they looked good and were of good size, but also had no taste. There must be a trick or method to those.
What do you do with the purple corn?
Saggywoman,
I have always planted the bush variety of green beans, but evidently they put the climbing pole type in one package so I have a 20 foot row now of pole beans. I need to put something up; I was thinking about a pole on each end of the row with a wire between them and strings hanging from the wire down to the plants. How do you do it?
