Everything is busting loose here.Plenty rain,warming up.Been gardening now 42 years,first time ever picking ripe tomatoes in April.Squash,cucumbers,new potatoes and onions picked yesterday.   Plenty dill for my pickles,6 foot high.Early girl tomatoes on the left,frost didn't hurt them.  Cucumbers on the climb  Full of blooms   Bird house gourds climbing.  My two groups of pm gourds  Looks like my first year is a success.Love these birds!  Some of the onions.Won't have to buy any for a while.  Thornless blackberries turning red.Gotta beat the birds to them. Thanks for looking snuffy |

Your garden looks really nice and am sure will provide a lot of produce. I would like to be a little closer when the cantaloupes start to ripen. My early peach (Florida Dawn) ripened two weeks early and is now preserved for future enjoyment. Snuffy, I use the large plastic grape containers with the snap corners to cover peaches to keep the birds off. They are time consuming but might work better than bird net on the blackberries if you want the totally ripe.

I draped bird netting over them last year.Plum and peaches too.Worked pretty well.Always something else wants to eat what a person raises. snuffy |

How do you know when the onions are ready? I planted purple ones but have no idea when to pick.
