We are also in 7a and started eating our tomatoes about a week ago. Cucumber has been going super strong for a few weeks now. Eggplants are starting to be ripe enough to harvest. It’s been a good year so far.
The long cool spring here followed by a heat wave seems to have delayed most things a bit, but they’re finally kicking off. My cucamelons and eggplant are blooming, and the okra plants are setting their first pods. Summer squash has been at it for a while. I think my fall garden will have to be late this year, but I use frost cloth, so I’ll have some wiggle room.
Congratulations! Looks delicious.
