May seems to be the opening month for farmers markets around Atlanta. There are tons of them. I myself have a booth at the East Atlanta Village Farmers Market, selling my bags and cases. Not exactly convenient but it's kind of fun.
The poor farmers don't have too much to offer yet - tiny amounts of lettuce and chard; a good selection of onions; and radishes are coming in. A few beets. I'm doing my best to support them, and it'll only get better as the season goes on.
My own garden is showing mixed results, as gardens tend to do, I guess. Tomato plants, zucchini, peas, and peanuts are doing very well. Carrots - zip. Beets - kind of. Potatoes - some beautiful plants but not as many as I would like to see. Today I planted eggplant and bell peppers and I think that's all the planting I'm going to do before fall.
The chicks are still alive and well, growing apace. No eggs though for at least 3 more months.
