Reply #4: Everything's going berserk.

Our upside-down tomatoes are doing much better than last year, when something made them sick, and the peppers seem to like upside-down-ness, too. Cukes are coming up, spinach is still at a point where it looks more like crabgrass, herbs are flourishing, and I've never seen beans sprout and grow as fast as these guys have. The white eggplant's not doing a whole lot, but we've never planted one before, so I have no idea what it's supposed to be doing at this point. The Japanese eggplant's already starting to get blossoms. Onions are starting to look more onion-y, and we have an absolute riot of shallots. (This is an 8' x 8' apartment plot.)

It's been astonishingly rainy here (north-central WV) this spring, so we had to plant really late. I'm really pleased with how everything's doing. We're going to be awash in fresh produce.
