My spring crops of radishes, lettuce and sugar-pod peas are already eaten.

Didn't do spinach this year, but I have a couple rows of beets in - I'm the only one who'll eat those.

The tomatoes are two feet tall and blossoming. (I put them in on May 15 inside Wall O'Water tubes. Those things REALLY jump-start tomatoes.) Looking for this to be my tenth year in a row without a tomato worm or bug of any kind. My secret? Plant a couple marigolds right next to each tomato plant. Tomato worms won't come NEAR a marigold. Works with peppers and cukes, too.
