I was excited about the spaghetti squash, but when I went to take the picture, it was wilted. Now I'm worried. All the other vines look alright.

Hard to get to acorn squash.

There is a little Armenian cuke about an inch long, but I didn't get a picture of it.

Also a BB. This one has the biggest tomato.

This is a yellow brandywine. The only one that I started to make it to a planter yet.

I've got to weed and up-pot my tomato sprouts. They are doing nothing in a hurry.

Some climates require certain varieties to get good yields as some varieties just don't finish in some areas. I'm fortunate to be able to grow pretty much any tomato although I'm never going to be anywhere close to someone like @injinji and their climate with tomatoes already the size they have. But I can finish pretty much any tomato just later in the summer.

Have you tried some of the earlier ripening varieties? I always grow some Siletz tomatoes since they can be put out sooner and are some of the quickest to ripen. They're also a damn good eating tomato.

I have some San Marzano volunteers coming up where I planted some strawberries and lettuce this year. I'm going to move them and hope they make it. They always ripen later in the season for me but they sure are a nice tomato and they freeze whole really well.

I dont want to sound like a smart ass, but why dont you start them inside for a couple weeks to a month before you take them out? That should give you enough time, right? I suppose it may also have something to do with where you live.

Today is the last of three good above ground days. I'm doing another round of viney stuff down at the field at the riverhouse. Maybe some more okra. The cool nights have my okra not growing like they should.

In the way over due category, I'm planting cypress and magnolia seeds today. Should have been done early in spring. I'm done with citrus for the season. I already have more than I can take care of.
