The thornless blackberry I planted last year has beautiful flowers and is full of fruit this year! Also looking forward to raspberries. One of the blueberry plants is showing some life. More than a dozen tomato plants are in the ground, and a dozen more awaiting a place to plant. Squash and cucumber plants survived the heat wave, as did the baby arugula plants. Potato plants are huge! Can't wait to see if the fingerlings made it - - I planted a variety last fall, a few more in the early spring, and also a bunch of red potatoes.
