Looking good. Quite the lineup there. Good luck.
So far this year I'm running Beef Steak, Yellow Pear, Cherub and Pruden's Purple tomatoes. Half a dozen or so pepper varieties. Plus the usual peas, green beans, sweet corn, filed corn, soybeans, melons, cucumbers, squash and onions.

Nice man. Do you have a favorite pepper? I love growing all kinds of peppers from bells to superhots.

My everyday muncher is the Mini Sweet peppers. I can't find the seeds online, but I saved them from the bought peppers. They come in several colors and are great for eating in the garden. Most mornings I will eat tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers as soon as I come out of the house.
My wife cooks a lot of Jalapeno poppers, so I have a couple different varieties of that that I grow. My favorite for cooking is the New Mexico Chili. It is a pretty mild pepper but has good flavor. I have cayenne and Serrano for pepper sauce. You can't eat peas or greens without pepper sauce. I also have a few Habanero. They are not one of my favorites, but the wife uses some in pepper jelly. I'm growing Hungarian Wax Yellow for the first time in several years. Also picked up a pack of Lemon Pepper{ or was it Yellow?} at Lowe's this week. Haven't goggled them yet to see what I have.
We also do California Wonder Bells and Grand Bell Mix. The wife hates having to wait to see what colors we will get with the GBM.

Almost forgot. I have a few Anaheim chili seeds in soil, and some saved seeds from peppers my sister got from a friend in the nursery business. I call them LLJ for looks like Jalapeno. So far no sprouts from them.

Looking good. I have 30 pepper plants in the ground. I just potted 75 more sprouts this week. The Hungarian Yellow Wax started bearing first, about two weeks ago. Now I'm getting Jalapeno, Anaheim chilies and one unknown variety. The names on my labels washed off, so I'm going to be matching peppers to the pictures on the seed packs.

What's this pink flower and is it a companion crop?

Nope, I don't think I have that one. I am picking squash, cucumbers and a few peppers a day now. And the green beans every three days. Peas and corn are real close to being ready.

I got started too early in the garden {and in the woods} this year. I dug a hole and covered it with two shower doors to make a subterranean greenhouse. It got me through two late frosts.
