My orange tree is in full bloom and my Meyer lemon is leafing out after a hard winter. I am already cutting basil, parsley and oregano for salads. I have one pepper (cayenne) starting to produce chiles but the Anaheim, poblano and jalapeņo are just starting to bloom. I am also seeing flowers on the Early Girl tomatoes but won't expect fruit for another month. We have been getting kale and broccoli-rabb all winter and lettuce for about a month. The okra and squash are about ten inches high and ready to be set out: before I do, though, I need to make up more rabbit/pack rat barriers or they won't last a day. I'll probably be through for the season by the end of May, too hot in summer for most stuff until October rolls around again. I tried a ghost pepper once and have concluded that it is best used for etching glass or for stripping paint. I can handle habanero chiles in small doses but the ghost chiles are too potent for me.
