I know it's early in the season, but after seeing Wegmans price on corn I cleaned up an area of my yard and planted 4-10' rows of sweet corn and hopefully in another 10 weeks I'll start seeing some eggs from my chickens.

lots of beans from kitchen window boxes- curious if the 2' tall zucchini plants are going to make stuff also

about half the stuff in the big garden perking up that were transplants and 4 rows of corn are all about 1-2" tall sprouts now!

Some things turning green in Sarah’s beds. Tried a couple upside down tomatoes and they are looking sad to be upside down.

I think we are overwatering. So much mud over there. Plants are looking good though.

We have so much lettuce already I don't know what to do with it.  Peppers, sweet potatoes, carrots, strawberries, rasberrys doing well so far.  Not seeing any action from edamame or green beans.

no action at all on our berries, I don't think they were interested :(
I need to split up the potatoes I threw in a bucket before it's too late, they're going gangbusters! (I have no idea what to do with a potato or how they grow. I just threw whole sprouting ones from a bag that sprouted in to see what they'd do. Impressively hearty looking dark dark greenness!)
