All the full-size tomato plants are in the ground now. Unfortunately because of how long my seedlings stayed inside (we had a frost just a couple weeks ago), some of them got too leggy and had to be replaced by young plants that I picked up at Lowes. Still a good variety for this season.

Sweet corn has sprouted already as well. Last year the squirrels and storms destroyed pretty much my entire crop so I put some cages around them this year. Hoping this at least keeps them from snapping in high winds and I'll try to harvest the corn before the animals can get to it.

Hot peppers and cucumbers in the ground as well. Not as much pepper variety as I normally do but I haven't been able to use my entire harvest the last few years so I'm cutting it back a little bit. Here are some JalapeƱos, Habaneros, Thai Peppers, and Ghost Peppers.
