I'm curious to hear what everyone's gardening success stories are this spring! What plants are growing well for you right now?

My seedlings are thriving this year! I've got basil, cantaloupe, a mix of peppers (including shishito and jalapeño), and a bunch of beautiful flowers like sunflowers and zinnias—all looking healthy!
Despite a surprise two feet of snow yesterday, my tomato and pepper starts are doing great! The weather's been strange this spring, but I'm hoping for the best!
In my zone 6b/7a garden on the wet PNW coast, I've got lettuce, mustard greens, and even some pesky slugs thriving right now! It's the best time for cool-season crops here.
I'm in 6b and dealing with a heat wave that's got my spring crops nervous—some are starting to bolt! Still, my broccoli and cabbage are holding strong, and I have plenty of peas and radishes ready for harvest.
That’s interesting about the bolting! I hope the temperatures cool down for you soon; my spring lettuce is still doing well, thankfully!
I'm in zone 9b and things are really taking off! My squash, melons, tomatoes (seven varieties!), and beans are all growing like crazy. But the heat is starting to take a toll on my chard—gotta stay on top of the shade netting!
Wow, your seed starts sound amazing! I love zinnias; they bring such color to the garden!
