I've had this Livejournal for a long time, but I haven't written in it much - and almost no public posts.  
I'm going to start writing more I hope.

Spring garden is all but done.  Still have garlic / onions in the ground, but everything else is replaced with summer fare.

I have planted for summer:

Tomatoes:  444's, Celebrity, and some cherries that I didn't get a variety name on

Peppers:   Sweet Bell and mild Jalapenos

Soybeans:  Can't remember variety

Garbanzo Beans: An experiment - we'll see

Millet:  Only because the bugs ate the Amaranth and I needed somthing to go there; I'll turn it under when it gets high enough

Basil:  Thai Lemon, but it's pretty scrawny looking - don't know if it will survive

Okra:  Half a row only because I want the experience (will give any and all harvest away)

Pole Beans:  On a nifty tee-pee I made (pic later I hope)

Cucumbers:  Also on a nifty Tee Pee (these already have cukes on the vines - yay)

New Zealand Spinach:  First time growing this - so far so good (bugs don't seem to notice it)

Malabar Spinach:  Not sure if this will take off - time will tell.

Got the Pommegranite trees in the ground over the winter.  They have new growth.

Blackberries I put in over the winter have growthon them.  Won't get any berries this year, but the growth this year will bear fruit next year. Yay.

Fig tree is now taller than me and very healthy looking.  I should get a good batch of figs this year from last year's growth.

That's pretty much it.  Don't plan on planting anything else until Indian Summer.  From now until then I'll be keeping things up, harvesting, and doing the list of summer garden projects I have scheduled.
