I sowed the carrots and beets on April 11, 2018. The seed packet for both show 65 days. Not sure if that is when they are supposed to be harvested from the time of sowing or what.
Today it has been 79 days since I planted the seeds. Both the carrots and the beets have good foliage showing, so I decided to dig up one of each to see how the root is progressing.

Obviously, both the carrot and the beet have a long way to go. I tried to stick the ones I pulled back into the ground. We will see if they survive.
The basil, rhubarb and cabbage are doing well.

All four of the okra plants are still alive. One, the oldest has fruit. Two others are growing well. One is sickly but still hanging in there.

Of the 30 or so pepper plants I planted in April, it appears maybe two or three are actually still alive. One has a small fruit on it while the other two are flowering.
