Being in a zone 5 means we need to wait until May to plant. If you plant your garden any sooner you risk the chance of a freeze that will mean you have to start over with your garden.The last few years my garden hasn't been planted until June which makes for a short growing season. But this year, because I left town at the end of May I made sure to get my garden in early. And now I am reaping the benefits!
Green and Yellow Zucchini
Crook Neck Squash
Spaghetti Squash
Eggplant
Cucumbers
The tomatoes should be ripening in a couple of weeks.
I can't wait for BLT's. YUM!
There's even a watermelon.

And hopefully, come fall,
there will be many pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.
Did you notice my secret to success?
I line my garden with black plastic before planting.
It helps to keep the plants warm and their roots moist.
It also cuts down significantly on weeds and garden critters.

What beautiful summer squash! I have a teeny plot in my community garden with beans, tomatoes and Swiss chard. Wish I could grow me some squash! But squash is pretty prolific and squash growers are pretty generous.
It grows deliciously!
Oh My heck! Our garden is no where near as far along as yours! One of our pumpkin plants is really struggling - the corn is about 15" tall - the zuchinni hasn't had a single blossom on it. Sigh......
WOW..nice garden and veggies! I hope you get lots of pumpkins.No garden this year for me..

Wow, you have a lot of goodies growing there. Congrats!!
Your garden looks very healthy and thriving. Obviously your "secret" works well. I enjoyed the photos!
Super lucky you!!!
I hope you are cooking the flowers from those zucchini. You can check my blog on how to make them. They are delicious.
We use straw. I love the look of hay/straw lining the garden and allt he fresh colors on top.
