I'm a bit southeast of you, in the Lower Hudson Valley. When I used to.plant lettuce, had success with butterhead/bibb, and with leaf lettuce. Agree its too hot for lettuce right now.

Still haven’t planted anything in my “ladder” planters.
Picked a bowl of green beans this morning, they were good.
Tomatoes are growing like crazy. Should have some any day.
These are my two gardens of Golden Raspberries. They are coming in fast. Have been picking about 1-2 cups a day this week.

Thanks. Got that this spring. Going back to the garden center/nursery where we got it. They gave us 1/2 price coupons and they are good starting tomorrow.

Been enjoying my leaf lettuce and romaine for many weeks now.....making sure it doesn't bolt, it is all cut and come again, and make sure you protect the inner crown when you cut or the lettuce will think it's life is done as well as when it bolts. Its made up of mostly water so be sure to keep it watered well in early morning before sun hits it!!! Guess we need update once Willmark has established his new acquisitions!!! Glad he is minding the females.....maybe I am biased but doesn't Mom always know best?!!

Everything looks beautiful and very happy! My beans are growing fast they are 2 inches long and yesterday I swear they were only one inch....green tomatoes here, and bitty peppers appearing.....I have a lot of carrot greens and going to use my Swiss Chard in recipie tomorrow....someone is nibbling holes in it but still have ample leafage and stems to put in slow cooker Madras Curry. Yummy.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful gardens everyone!!! Makes staying at home all the better to visit vicariously is better than nothing.....
It will still get done Willmark….get some of your fam do the watering and feel accomplished directing traffic..... We have had some nice 78 degree days but tomorrow back to 90, think its been over two weeks since it rained here but 80% chance tomorrow night into Wednesday. PLEASE!!!!
Do you get to take time off from your paying job or are you still working at home.....be careful with any important emails sent while on Vicodin!!!!.
Maybe a hammock would be a good place to nap while drugged up.....

These are amazing. How do you keep the birds and squirrels away?
Here’s what I have right now.. these 2 plants, plus the kale, are the only fruits or veggies who aren’t getting destroyed by animals.
I would have so many blueberries and strawberries by now, if they would just leave them alone. My spaghetti squash keeps getting chomped off by some animal.. so now I put an upside down tomato cage, hoping it will grow vertical and be left alone.
So far my Roma tomatoes are safe, but those are in a container on the deck.

As far as the animals go,
the birds like the leaves from the pea pods, not the actual pea pods, so I’m ok with that.
the squirrels will eventually get a tomato or two, but I have like 50 planted so there is enough to share.
and the jalapeños, celery, cucumbers, bell peppers, squash, Serrano peppers, green onions, and carrots never get touched.

Squirrels or chipmunks dug our the roots of my cucumbers and spinach, they didn’t eat the actual spinach leaves though.. but the plants died anyway. So far peppers and kale are the only things they don’t like, hopefully stays that way. I don’t know what’s eating my squash plants, it’s a bite of a vine, so I’m thinking maybe deer.
How do you keep the birds away from your berries? Someone told me to buy a scarecrow, fake owls, or something with light up eyes, and set them around the bushes.
