My babies this year...

Cantaloupe. I'm a little nervous about this one if a actually get some melons to grow.

Cucumber and cherry tomatoes

Green and Fresno peppers


Green beans. My son planted the seeds him self and dumped all the seeds together. So we'll see how they grow.


Collards

My strawberry plant didn't like the indoors this past winter, but she's coming back...

I forgot to take a pic of my other tomato plant. I gotta move her though because I don't think see likes the spot she's in...

My lettuce didnt make it, think it got too humid in the polytunnel...

Weve had really hot weather in the UK and its hard to get the right temperature and water to the tomatoes, tons of my leaves went all droopy and shrivelled up and thought it was game over for some but managed to get them back again, then some have gone droopy again... Hopefully they will come back again too, gardening is stressful!!! lol

Alot of the insects are good, they aerate the soil and catch the bad guys like caterpillars but then you got pests too... Its hard to determine whats good and bad though as I know nothing about them really other than ladybirds and bees are good lol

Did you just water it seems like the soil is too wet. Those may be aphids but I've never seen em move like that

Man, I just went to check on my plants and one of my peppers (which has just started producing a tiny pepper too) covered in tons of tiny white insects!!! After a Google looks like they are aphids or whiteflies...

I didnt wanna take risks and infect all my other plants so ripped it out smh thankfully it seems they all just headed to that one plant....

Growing fruits and veg can be so frustrating!!!
