dead red pepper and good sprouts

One of my red peppers is gone. The leaves pretty much shriveled and either fell off or drooped so that they weren't useful anymore. We've been getting sooooo much rain this spring. Although I think the beds have pretty good drainage, it has definitely been a moisture onslaught.
Out of the 8 lima beans I planted, 1 has sprouted.
Out of the 8 garden beans, ditto.

As for the outlook from today,

We are in no need of watering.

On the plus side, 3 canteloupe sprouted.
So, with that in mind, I need to build trellises and soon. I'll probably be heading out to the UK this weekend and it could be for 2 weeks, so I need to get things in place. I splurged and bought the new Square Foot Gardening book to have it on hand. I will likely use its directions for building several trellises, which will require a trip to the hardware store for fence and pipe and to the Burpee Outlet store to get the garden trellis netting.

And for kicks, I put in watermelon seeds and pumpkin seed in the ground this morning. Definitely need a trellis definitely.

As for the state of the state, here is how things are looking.

We have a couple yellow cherry tomatoes.

The mushmelons have sprouted. Yeah, canteloupe!

Cucumbers are coming along slowly but I'm not worried yet.

Okra has sprouted. I will be psyched if I can grow this successfully.

And we have a lil green tomato on the beefsteak tomato vine. We also have more cherry tomatoes on other vines. So far so good on the forgiving tomato plant front.
