Watermelon, Squash, Eggplant, Herbs, Grapes
Everything is growing, most notably my volunteer watermelon:


and also my volunteer butternut:

I am looking forward to the eggplant producing well. Here is a baby one:

My grapes aren't bad, either:

and mint is the uncontested boss of the herb garden:


Tomatoes, Tenerumi, Grapes
The garden is coming along. One of my heirloom tomato plants has decent size fruit:
The tenerumi squash is growing (here are two of three plants that grew):
A volunteer squash of an as yet undetermined variety has taken over one of my compost bins, growing spectacularly ahead of its planted kin:

And the grapevines have some fruit:

Tomato
I have not been recording what I have transplanted. But I have transplanted. Three tenerumi squash; 5 zucchini; 4 Amber Cup.

Artichoke, Raspberry
The first artichoke is forming:
Of the three raspberry plants I started last year, one made it through the winter and has its first flower:

Chard and Spinach
Last week we again feasted on chard,

and today I harvested the first spinach of the season:
