Mine's been hit and miss. My strawberries haven't set fruit like I expected. My contender beans have gone crazy, going for a third picking of them this week, then I'm going to pull them up and replant. Squash was slow to start but has put off a few lately. Tomatoes are doing pretty good, have some black krims and cherokee purples that are almost ready. Peppers are finally starting to show some growth, but stayed short and stunted looking for a while. Starting to see a few small watermelons, but my cantaloupes haven't done jack. I think I'm going to pull some stuff next week and replant with some peas for a late summer/fall crop.

I just took a picture last night. Our Pumpkins out doing well, beans are growing slower than we thought, and some of our spinach that was in direct sun has wilted pretty bad. But tomatoes, peppers, sunflowers, romaine lettuce, and others are doing well. We planted cantaloupe and watermelon but I would be surprised if we get much fruit off of those -- we are zone 5.

I think that's been a lot of the problem around here too, KVR. We've had a lot more rain than normal, and didn't really have much of a spring. It went from cool to hot with no real change over period. My lettuce and broccoli went from being ready to pick to bolting in about a week.

That pic of the beans I replanted above was taken like 2 days ago. Those beans have tripled in size already! FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS. Was beginning to despair! My kids weeded the bush beans and are eating the beans raw, lol... tasty!

Rough here. Hard storms killed off a few things. The only things unaffected have been greens. Even the tomatoes are looking weary. Our pear and apples are abundant though, but it looks like we won't even own this place by the time they are ready. I will plant what I can at our new digs in August.
