   I'm jelly. I just started on mine. I've got a lot of wild bunnies and skunks so I went with raised beds. I do have some bees

     @NailBomb ooh, that all sounds very nice
     I'll have to do some regular gardenposting now that the plants are really starting to do something :blobcool:
     
     Until then... here are some more recent pics of the giant potato area and the cabbage-radish-lettuce-greenbeans-cucumbers-peas-celery-broccoli-bokchoi-brusselsprouts-zucchini area (I probably forgot something, there's a lot of random stuff there). Unfortunately I think a lot of my cabbage-family plants have or are bolting, but most of it is doing well. I have been pleasantly surprised by the taste of the radishes (and radish greens!) and feel like I've been lied to all my life :angryglitch:
     
     I also have a bunch of tomatoes (romas, san marzano, and cherry tomatoes - I have had less success with the bigger ones for some reason but that's fine since I'm going to can a ton of them anyway), and another giant area filled with corn, pumpkin/other squash, and beans, but they're also just getting started (you say June is "late" but the official "last frost" for here was in June and there was definitely an actual one in early June that took a few of my potatoes despite my attempts to protect them :cryingcat:). I'm sure there's more I'm not thinking about right now - I have so much random stuff everywhere; gardening is going to be a fun time :blobcatdance:

     @NailBomb the 3-year-old scallions did not make it, sadly, but last year's onions (some of them) are still alive and some are flowering :blobcatdance:
     The new onions and garlic are doing well so far (I also have some chives and scallions around the garden). I'd take a picture but I really need to weed them first :blobeyes:
     Thank you for asking and I hope yours are also doing well :blobheartcat:

     You don't have to weed on my account.
     
     My front yard is coming along well. The Amish Pie squash are flowering, the purple tomatoes are finally getting their shit. Black beans can't decide if they want to grow or die. The cayenne peppers are struggling. Sweet basil is goig nuts - just took a dozen cutting to try propagating it.
     
     The other garden I have is behind because I didn't start it until basically the beginning of June. That's where my corn, Hokkaido squash, butternut squash, onions, sugar beets, red beans, chick peas watermelon, giant sunflowers, and the rest of the hot peppers are planted. Lots of weeds and grass, buy hopefully the purple potatoes crowd them out.
     
     I sprouted a bunch of peas from the seeds I saved last year. I'm contemplating where I want to plant them.
