Achocha is getting bushier and ust beginning to flower.
 

 
The Mango tree is flowering now.
 

 

 
This Summer Squash/Zucchini is growing and producing well, I have gotten several 8" to 10" fruits so far.

I started some celery from seed in January, seven potted up, eleven to go!

I missed it the other day. I have fruits on my Achocha vines.

I whacked the Achocha fruit to give it a taste test since it has been so many years that I grew them. I do remember that the taste changes some depending on maturity and the seeds also turn brown/black later on. Anyway, as I ate this one it definitely has fresh cucumber flavor and even with my very poor sense of taste I also pick up the subtle taste of fresh shelled peas.

And here come the pineapples. I have seven showing up so far. Here's a few.

Picked a couple of summer squash/zucchini for tonights meal. They are 8-9 inches long.
 

 
Butternut squash is growing nicely.
 

 
Honey Bear Acorn Squash.

The Achocha has pretty well filled the 5 ft by 8 ft trellis and now the vines are going wild.
 

 
It's also starting to produce more fruit, and I see I have both the smooth and spiked types.

I checked with the 23 Feb photo and the change is indeed impressive, from aching to fill to full

I harvested the first two Honey Bear Acorn Squash today, and another zucchini.

The beans are putting out flowers now.
 

 
And they're getting pretty tall!

Nice, I'm always surprised to see that beans do so well in container.
 
My dad made teepee-styled supports. I used to make this type of construction, with a bicycle wheel (which is commonly referred to as a "bean wheel"):

The bean wheel looks good but I can move mine around if i want.

This is the season for most veggies here. Later on it gets hot, and right after that hot and wet.
The beans are in 18 gal utility tubs(from Menards) with several 3/4 inch holes drilled in bottom for drainage.

The next round of big kohlrabi.
