How do you like them? I’ve been considering planting them.

Your Vecchio di Puglia look good, but I would like to see photo of your Roma tomatoes field. Do you trim side shoot, do you stack them to columns ? I have seen photos of harvesting and processing Roma tomatoes, but not the place where they are grown.
I have no idea. I’ve never able to grow decent strawberries, so that bed is a mix of varieties from me trying to find one that would do well.

It may be some variant of a cutworm. Just guessing, so definitely could be wrong. Cutworms destroyed my spring plantings a couple years ago. All my pepper and tomato seedlings were fell like trees by them. If you see one of them, you definitely have more. They come out at night/early morning to eat.

I started with a couple of varieties and now have six. Everyone in the family loves them. They are like much larger, more flavourful wild blueberries. Superb flavor complexity.

Went out in the field and picked some wild blackberries this morning. They weren’t bad and not as many seeds as before. Nowhere as large and pretty as those.

This is amazing!!!!We've been picking some amazing strawberries from our own patch, but definitely not enough. So this morning, we went to a local pick-your-own strawberry farm. Picked some really nice ones. Malwina, Valley Sunset, and Jewel IIRC. Delicious.

We used to go to a pick your own farm. Haven’t been in years though. Need to go again, those look amazing and make me want some now.

For me, if I don't get my strawberry fix in June, I am not a happy person all year
My dinner tonight is a big bowl of fresh strawberries. That's all I will eat LOL

Mine are all thornless, bred varieties. I have 2x Ponca, 2x Von, 1 Osage, and 1 Ouachita, but now that they’ve been in ground a couple seasons they’re starting to sprout up extra shoots away from the initial row and I don’t know what all is necessarily what anymore. The size of the berries on some of them are definitely impressive though!!

She knows what peppers are lol. She doesn’t touch. Anything that slightly resembles peppers. Hahaha. Grew those last year.Grow some Carolina Reapers. It might fix that problem.

Here’s some new things today. My Hydrangea tree is blooming and the Robin that made a nest in it now has 2 babies in it. Also 1 of my giant leaf basil has been up potted and the other two cups have 3 each in them need to be separated. Also my cuttings are getting bigger and soon will be up potted too.

Starting to see blooms forming on my Hydrangea tree also.
My brother won a hot pepper eating contest in Philly, came in first place. My brother and friend Norma, I've never seen people like these two eat hot peppers like they can.
I don't know what it is but my jalapeno's came out extra HOT this year, jalapeno's and hot cherry peppers are usually my goto's, as I age I might have to lean towards sweet cherry peppers a bit more or mix them in.
Young garter snake?? Hard to tell..
We have a good garter snake population going on this year, so far I've spotted 3 different kinds.

I grew up in California and I don't know all the snakes here in Texas. I looked at some online pics and I think it's a water snake. We live by a lake.
