Things appear to be doing well, although I suspect we would be farther along if I had more sunlight on the garden beds area. Typical day is 4-5 hours of direct sunlight, probably need 6-8.
Everything looks healthy, except for the cauliflower &s sprouts the bunnies ate! However, most plant are still small. Just this week things seems to have taken off. The tomatoes plants are getting much larger, lettuce is looking good (should be larger & harvested by now), and the eggplant that had done nothing has doubled in size in the last week, along with the pepper plants.
I also transplanted the butternut squash, zucchini, & cucumber seedlings.
Just this week I sowed some yellow watermelon seeds (I cannot tell you the source!).
Hope to have continued progress and weather - it's been fantastic!
Cheers!

First Harvest of 2012!
Early season crops are doing alright. Just picked the fist of the radishes today!
Guess I should have planted more. We'll be picking these daily for a week or so.
I did just plant about another 50 seeds so in 4 - 5 weeks we'll have more to pick.
Romaine lettuce is doing fine. Staggered those plantings so starting in about two weeks should have a crop per week through June (unless it gets too hot). Plenty of salad coming soon!
Spinach, beets, carrots, peas, green beans, egg plant, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and early tomato all looking good. Started all those from seed indoors in March.
Jalapeno and red peppers from seedlings are coming along too.
Also about two weeks ago planted seeds in starter pots for zucchini, butternut squash, and cucumber.
Also Nancy put together a nice flower arrangement in a couple of large pots. Gives the area a nice burst of color.
Still hope we have enough sunlight in the yard with all those neighboring trees. Looking good so far!
