I finally got all my stuff planted. My son helped me get my garden structure done and it worked out great. Still a bit of tidying up to do, but I’m happy with the results.

My spinach is bolting and my radishes are getting woody already!!

That sucks. I just harvested spinach today and shows no signs of bolting. It’s in the hot sun too. This is my best spinach year yet.
Spring crops can be tough. This weather was cold and wet so they didn’t really grow and now it’s hot and sunny. I read somewhere recently that the bolting has more to do with the length of day over the temperature. I don’t know. I have tomatoes and peppers on plants already and this will be the first year I’ll get grapes.
My raspberries and black berries took a beating but are coming back fairly well, but will have lower production this year.

Back in the corner of the property amongst the weeds mama's roses still pop up every year.

Beautiful
1 outta 6 broccoli transplants died
The seeded broccoli is growing like weeds.
I bought onion sets at tractor supply, about a 50% failure rate on those. Never again from there. It will be onion plants next year
Wife's dent corn for milling is up to 2nd leaf and her dried beans and herbs are ahead of last year.
Pepper transplants are finally getting growing after the shock of being transferred from the greenhouse to the beds

Broccoli is easy to seed, so easy to just do that. I can’t get heads, but leaves galore.
Onions take forever to grow and are cheap so I just buy them. It’s fun to grow them if you have the space though.

The berries at the grocery store have been the worst I have ever seen it lately. Rotten and moldy on the store shelves. I’m setting up a strawberry grow operation in my basement. I lm doing 25 seabreeze everbearing day neutral strawberries. Should be enough for me and my family to have a constant supply once they get going.

I bought some (30) dormant seabreeze everbearing strawberries to try. Planted 25 outdoors- 24 died. Put 5 in hydroponic setup and 1 died, so far.
My sugar snap peas have lots of pods already. Like usual I picked some and they didn’t make it in the house
