First green of carrot sprouts were seen today. Don't let them dry out!

About half of the butterbeans have also broken ground so far.

Only about 1/3 of my Yukon Golds have come up; not sure what happened. Good sized seed pieces, with strong eyes; and let them callous before planting them the way I normally do. OTOH, I also had poor germination of my 3 types of squash; and NONE of my Spring planted garlic came up, even though the onion sets I planted at the same time, in the other half of the row are going gangbusters.

Pretty sure I'll be picking rhubarb this weekend; it was looking pretty good last weekend, before we got another 2-1/4 inches of rain.

This is our River Grape, with flower clusters for the first time; this will be its 4th summer.

Thanks for the pics. Very pretty. I have a volunteer tomato that I put a cage around today. Also 2 volunteer squash with really big flowers. They came up right next to the composter, and are taking over the walkway between it and one of the raised beds.

Something is eating on the leaves. If it ever quits raining, I’ll use some pepper spray. I managed to get some of the oak debri swept up and added to the compost pile. Also got one of the patio tables cleaned off with a good dose of bleach cleaner.

Hubby planted some rhubarb, this year - I have never made anything with it. My granny used to make pies, but I never liked them.
