Corn's sprouting. Some of my sorghum is sprouting. Cukes sprouting in abundance. Herbs are all looking mighty fine. Should have first lettuce and radish next week. One of my Siberian Pea tree seeds has sprouted.

Got the garden planted a little while back and the peas are starting to sprout. Also my divided and repotted miniature white roses are putting out a riot of second buds after I deadheaded the ones they came with.

Some potatoes? I've been growing them for about 3 years now and haven't had any this big before, I think I know why too, I did potato towers this year just to see what happened and what I've noticed is that yes, most of the potatoes did grow roots along the stem however I have not noticed any potatoes along those stems but I think what happens is the extra roots along the stem help take in much more water than they would otherwise be able to if they were just planted in the ground, thus increasing both the size and amount of potatoes.

Very cool! I'm jealous! With all of our reason and it's timing and having company in town, my garden is behind and a mucky, weedy mess.

Too bad they couldn't breed the cat facing out of some of those heirloom tomatoes. Excellent flavor, form... not so much! Now, there's a home garden breeding project for you Dan!
