• Most (all?) in-garden transplanting has been completed
• Corn has germinated nicely, both 2020 seed and last year's crop
• Potatoes are looking strong for the most part, with a few gaps. Big variation in plant size.
• Transplanted tomatoes have been stalled, but alive
• Transplanted peppers look generally sad
• Eggplant seeing some pest damage
• Pumpkin seedlings mostly all killed by striped cucumber beetles, a few other squashes are doing better
• Turkish Rocket has been flowering for a while (2 weeks?)
• Grapes are growing fast, many leaves
• Pea pods have formed
• Scarlet Runner beans have germinated
• Some pests went to town on three of the Broccoli plants

It's been very sunny, hot, and dry. Daily (or twice daily) waterings have been necessary. Weeding is ongoing. Tons of pollinators and birds.
