Here's a few pictures of my veggie garden. My tomatoes are really growing. I don't remember having tomatoes on the vine in April before.

I have tomatoes set on mine also. I just got the regular seedings not the super large ones that were blooming already.
 
I bought seedlings also, Lynn, six packs and some seperate ones too. HEB had patio tomatoes in 5 gallon containers that were loaded with toms for $19.99. I refuse to pay that much for one tom. I did buy a couple of gallon ones for $4 but those don't have tomatoes yet. I bought most of mine at Cornelious nursery for $1.99. The only one that doesn't have tomatoes that I got from them is the Cherokee Purple. Last year my Cherokee didn't produce any toms. I hope the one I have does better this year. They are buy Chef Jeff. I bought Chef Jeff last year from Houston Garden but they didn't do as well as the ones I have now. I have tiny bell peppers, jalapenas, and banana peppers also.
 
I got my tomato and pepper plants from lowes. I got the individual plants cause I only wanted two tomato and 2 pepper plants. Those and a couple of cucumbers is all the veggies I have this year. For some reason the herbs took over the garden lol
 
Very nice. I have little cukes growing as well as tomatoes which are taking forever! The recent tornadoes that passed through us haven't been helpful either.
 
I've picked my first veggies.

Awesome Dor! Over the weekend I picked about a 1/4 bushel of yellow squash. I also cut a bunch of kale. Most of which went to the church because I can only eat so much kale!
I also have gotten about 8 tomatoes ! Maybe this will be a good year for the south!
 
I think it will be a gret year Nancie. My tomato plants are loaded. I pick cherry tomato everyday. I have bush green bean that I will need to harvest soon. I've had my first cuc that Mya beat me to. It is so nice to enjoy fresh veggies.
 
I haven't even planted my garden yet and it's so wet so won't be planting it for awhile, another week of rain is coming too. Sure wish we could see the sun and things would dry out.
Hope you have an awesome yr Dor
 
I got my parsnips sown as well as Prarsley Root, 2 kinds of loose leaf lettuce!
Still too cool for sowing the yellow and green beans!
It will be another 2 weeks before I plant out my 3 varieties of tomatos and one type of Egg Plants "Parks Whopper"
I'll plant at least 2 hills each of zuccini, cucs, and butternut squash!
I'm dieing for fresh tomatoes from the garden!

Dor,
Everything has just busted out in baby veggies since it rained. I am having cuc troubles though. They are just drying up almost as soon as they get out of the ground. I am planting more this week.
I picked enough for several meals of italian beans this week. I love this time of year for the garden!
