Re: What's growing

Currently have 12 raised vegetable beds 39.37 inches by 78.74 inches
(these are not square-foot beds), some irrigated with drip tape, others
by hand.  Raised beds tend to dry out faster in our desert air but have
other advantages.

Have growing Fordhook and rhubard Swiss chard, red LaSota potatoes,
Granex and walking onions currently in bloom, elephant garlic, several
varieties of soft neck and hard neck garlic which will head out within a
few weeks, 5 tomato varieties with some starting to ripen, bell peppers,
chili peppers, eggplant, two each varieties of sweet corn, bush beans,
summer squash, and winter squash with assorted culinary and medicinal
herbs interplanted among the vegetables.

Our vegetable harvesting season peaks in May.  Most bolt to seed or
succumb to the 105 deg.F-plus heat the by the first two weeks in June.
