Wow! Amazing looking plants! Thanks for sharing, you have quite the setup there @burning VC .
As the zones go, you are quite ahead of me. I have a good amount of tomatoes forming, cucumbers are just getting pollinated, peppers and eggplants are starting to flower as well. Bush beans are also growing nicely. Looks like beetles are getting to my eggplants, similar to @DuaeGuttae. I am spraying neem and some Arber organic insecticide but I'm not sure if it's going to take care of the beetles. I might try some of the clay. So far only one eggplant is getting destroyed.
Possibly the most exciting thing about the garden/orchard so far... we finally have some asparagus coming up! I thought we waited too long to get the crowns in and they were going to be too dry. No harvest this year of course, but according to these specific crowns, they said a light second year harvest is acceptable. Not sure if I will, consensus seems to be wait the full 3 years.
