Maters fruiting already
 

Anyone else about two weeks early here?
Buried my Roma's half a plant down , but still have 1 inchin fruits formed over the last few days, this on 12 inch aboveground growth.

Elsewhere , turning the spinach under now, was a bloody feast this spring, but hey, times change and bolts happen. Thanks for the salads. See ya again in Fall.
Leaving 2 radishes to seed, but we feasted on oven roasted radish and stir fry too , was a bannner there.
First pea pods today in a stir fry, will be drowned in the mofo's come next weekend.

Gotta say , that spring crops do seem to be giving up the goose earlier than my records indicate (sorry all you Global Warming deniers--- ahhahhah just kidding).

Look though, maters, green and tiny as they may be, I ain't never seen in May. Ever. In 30+ years of growing or watching em grow.
My potatoes have a mind of their own. No action for weeks, ready to call it a bust and reclaim that soil and then bang, they're all over. least some of them.
Gonna get some picture in one of those threads.

I've got green maters, eggplant & tiny yellow squash... and have already started picking & eating banana peppers.

Earliest I've ever had peppers & eggplant.....

Our grape tomatoes have fruit on them. We have edible onions, waiting on a few other things. Zuchini, beans etc.

Im on my second harvest already. But I live in south florida so that helps.

Man, you guys are lucky!

All I've got are a few plants with flowers on them- but these are cherry tomato plants. They are always the quickest.

None of my main season plants have flowers yet.

Just put the tomatoes in this weekend. Planted Roma polebeans and armenian cucumbers. Planted green and yellow hungarian pepper plants and it got down to 42* last night. Sometimes that stunts the peppers up here. They stay small and produce miniature green peppers! Also planted crookneck squash on a hill.
I put down the black fabric and just plant the tomatoes in prepared holes and then mulch everything with straw. No weeds and it keeps the moisture in. This year I am trying an automated nelson sprinkler timer. Turns on every day or every other day 15/30/60 minutes at 6am. $30....I figure it will increase the yield.I am out of town often. I want to get the stuff for a drip system to work with the timer.

After listening to you guys I feel like I am living at the north pole. I do get a very abundant yearly harvest before the frost comes though. Oh yea, I just harvested probably 30 lbs of rhubarb. Froze it....now we wait for the strawberry pickin at the farm down the road. Strawberry /rhubarb wine,jam,pie,whatever....:yippee:
