Nevertheless, I finally managed to find a "Texas tarragon" (also known as Mexican mint marigold, since real tarragon won't grow well here) at Ace Hardware, and bought that along with a lemon balm, so my mostly herb plot is looking slightly better. I'm still waiting for the strawberries to come up. There's no sign of green on them yet.
The full plot, lemon balm, texas tarragon, cucumbers, loofah gourd
Here is the plot with the tomatoes and peppers. The basil has a bit of a brown tinge, but you can't really see it. After that are a basil seedling and zucchini seedling.
Here another plot with progress of corn, salad greens, scallions, greenbeans
Almost all the squares of the asparagus plot have shoots now.
The watermelon in this plot is a little yellowed from the cold. The cantaloupe seeds were eaten? by ants, but I put ant bait out today and reseede both those and more watermelon seeds in case this one doesn't make it.
From left to right - watermelon, whole plot, purslane
And last but not least, the cool weather crop patch! The broccoli is looking about ready to harvest, and some of the rest of the crops got a little battered by the wind and rain. The potatoes on the right-hand side are really pretty.
Oh, and we ate our first radish a while back, but I'll post about that later. It was delicious!
