What's Growing in the Garden

Man, all those spring peepers are long gone. Dogwoods are blooming, Peony buds are starting to swell as well as some lilies are starting to show some buds.
 
Potatoes, Beans and Squash. Purplehull peas will go in the empty spot on the left.

I watered everything good on Tuesday and we got 2.6” yesterday. These pictures were from last week...

I found this “growing” on my crabapple tree in the front flower garden Friday morning.

Did they finally leave?? I've had clusters like that about 3-4 times. They never stayed more than 3 days. They probably were looking for a place to live. Apparently my property is on their No No list as they never made a home here. ............ Nubs
 
You guys been busy! We got two tomato plants in pots sitting on our deck now. Oh, and the rhubarb plant is growing nicely - the deer don't touch it.
 
Quarter of the battle has been won, beat the freezes and fruit is set. If I keep up on fungicide, insecticide sprays, and storms don't blow it all off when nearing maturity, should have some good crops.

Apples:

The black and red raspberries are also doing well, but a little early yet for blossoms.

Sure looks promising! Would just love to see a bumper crop for you this year! Chuck
 
Spring is slowly warming up, the dandelions are just starting to bloom here. I planted my peas today, they could have been planted a little earlier but I don't think I would have gained much given the cool weather. I used to grow alderman peas which take a 6' trellis, I'm now planting mira green. I think they produce as well and are better tasting. They only need a 4' trellis which is a little less work. Interesting note; no one local sells the seeds and not many online places have them. I forgot to order them from Gurneys when I sent my annual order, ordered as a single item the shipping cost was as much as the seed. I looked around and found that I could get them from Home Depot with free shipping, when I opened the package I found Gurney seed 😂
