My tomatoes (krims) are loaded with HugE, HUGE maters. So much I’m having to tie the branches everyday. A bit of wilt setting in but another FReeper has put me on the path to remediation..

Fordhooks are starting to bloom.
Roma green beans have small fruit and popping with blooms.
Alabama Black Eye Butter beans have reached the top of their
(12 feet) poles and are blooming.
I’m pulling both crimson and Alabama Red okra.. (gunna fry up a batch tonight with my BBQ chicken and rice..)
Shishito peppers are rocking. Pulling them almost everyday.
My secondary planting of hybrid tomatoes are going to town, too.
Perilla is going to have to be thinned because it’s taking over everything..
I put some Korean white cukes (three) in the ground earlier this week and they got the memo..; grow, grow, grow... (I couldn’t get excited about growing cukes this year..sigh)
Putting more okra in the ground in the AM..
It’s going to be a good year here in Atlanta..!!

You are right. It sounds like a banner year in Atlanta.

Do you have any photos ?
You have mentioned several varieties that I am totally unfamiliar with !
P.S. : What is Perilla ? / Uses ?
