What's growing in the garden now?

It's the end of May, and after a warm early spring we've had a cold wet late spring. Right now, in the hoophouse we have strawberries fruiting (about a month earlier than in the open garden), shelling peas and snap peas are almost ready, and the radishes are finished. Space is ready for peppers and basil once the weather warms up a little more.

Outside, the soup peas are about a foot up the fence, summer squash have just poked their noses out of the ground, another batch of shelling peas is on the way, raspberries and blueberries are flowering and covered in bees, and seedling brassicas, radishes, chard, chickpeas, onions, sunflowers and amaranth are growing well. The potatoes are up too, especially the blue-fleshed ones which have very dark foliage.

How about your garden?
