As of yesterday, the 2024 Jardín del Gotch is fully planted...except for the Waltham Butternut Squarsh...for two (2) reasons:

1) BIL needing to finish painting behind the Squarsh Trellis come Wednesday, and
2) The divine @MissS striking the Fear of SVB with early planting.

With the Gotch beating that drum over and over I had no choice but to order a packet of seeds. Will be planting those when I get home tomorrow. They’ll be ripe in time for the second annual BLT Party and Tomato tasting, I’m sure they won’t disappoint!

With the Waltham Butternut Squarsh in, Jardín del Gotch is fully planted as of 05/29.

It gets better, Lettuce Leaf Basil is thriving:

Newcomer Big Bubba is living up to it's sobriquet, Big Lou (H/T to enabler...I mean...seed supplier, the Divine @MissS) to the upper right:
