None here yet. But my 2.5 year old son planted his first Tomatoe Plant last weekend. He waters it twice a day and asks me why there aren't any tomatoes yet. :-)

My tomatoes, peppers, etc., are going crazy. With the recent rains they're very happy. My weather station rain gauge shows 17.65" of rain so far this year. It needs to dry out for a while and let the plants get a good sun-soaking.

I was wondering if others were feeling the same... its going to be a good year! Planted on Feb 24 & things were growing slowly, but now are going wild like your plants. So far there are 250+ tomatoes hanging plus a buncha cherry tomatoes, some of which are already getting ripe. We probably feel it here first in California cuz of the early planting season, but it looks like it'll be a good year in the garden this time around!

I've saved a monster amount of bacon over the fall/winter. 70-80 pounds worth.
Couple hundred heirloom tomatoe plants and a nice bed of romaine.

Getting a good rain on my tomato plants that are about a foot tall now. Started them from seed this year so I'm kind of excited to see how they turn out. So far so good. I've got Better Boy, Beefsteak, Delicious and Large Red Cherry plants agoing

Not a thing planted in garden due to wet/rain. Blueberry crop will be record. Asparagus awesome.
Amish market will be our garden. Never before have we had no garden.

Damn that's too bad. I live on the Missouri River bottom and about half of the row crops aren't even put in yet. Lots of corn growing though

It's ugly just about everywhere. I just rolled through the second 15 hour day with a good 3 more to go before we're done. Most of the corn here looks horrible and some guys have still not started on beans yet. I HATE springs like these!

From record drought to record wet. I know a number of guys who have zero corn planted, many have just a small amount. Should see major progress this week if these rains miss us. Yields will be way off. Pastures are lush. But look better from the road than they actually are. Drought last summer hurt grass big time.

I've got tomatoes, beans, peppers, corn, radishes, and garlic in. The corn is doing terribly but everything else thriving. First year I've done a garden. Beginner dumb question: how long does garlic take? It sprouted in the fridge, I took the bulb apart, planted each clove about 8 inches apart and the stocks have more then doubled since they've been. No clue when I should harvest.
